Here are the 11 Senate Republicans that joined Democrats to break the debt limit deal filibuster
Their votes allowed the Senate to clear the procedural hurdle and transfer towards growing the debt ceiling.
Listed below are the Republicans who voted with the Democrats:
- John Barrasso of Wyoming
- Roy Blunt of Missouri
- Susan Collins of Maine
- John Cornyn of Texas
- Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
- Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia
- Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
- Rob Portman of Ohio
- Mike Rounds of South Dakota
- Richard Shelby of Alabama
- John Thune of South Dakota
Each events have made clear that the nation should not default and that even coming near it will seemingly carry catastrophic economic consequences.
But whereas the deal introduced Thursday stands to avert rapid financial catastrophe, it doesn’t resolve the underlying partisan stalemate over the difficulty. It merely delays the combat till one other day.
