And with that, the Senate is GONE until next Tuesday, November 18.

An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Cornyn votes YES (nobody expected otherwise). The count is 60-40. This will pass.

Rick Scott, Ron Johnson and Mike Lee just voted YES. The current tally is 59-40.

Now waiting for John Cornyn, who will be the decider.

So the Senate vote to advance the funding deal is currently 56-40. All the Democrats have voted. FOUR Republicans have not yet voted: John Cornyn, Rick Scott, Ron Johnson and Mike Lee. All of them need to vote YES to get this to 60, otherwise it fails.

Notable Democratc NO votes on advancing this funding deal: Schumer, Peters, Slotkin, Warner, Ossoff, Warnock, Hickenlooper, Kelly, Gallego, Bennet, Gillibrand.

EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:

Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen

If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

Jacky Rosen votes YES to advance this funding deal. Dem flip; she voted against the previous 14 motions on the CR.

Durbin is a YES on this deal: “At Democrats’ urging, today’s bill is not the same one we’ve voted down 14 times. Republicans finally woke up and realized their Groundhog Day needed to end. This bill is not perfect, but it takes important steps to reduce their shutdown’s hurt.”

Mark Warner is a NO on this deal, citing ACA funding uncertainty. “But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.”

Senate is voting NOW on the deal to reopen the government. This is a procedural motion, not final passage, using the House-passed funding bill as the vehicle. Needs 60 to advance.

THUNE says he's optimistic this deal will pass.

"After 40 long days, I'm hopeful that we can finally bring this shutdown to an end," he says on the floor, citing the "truly precarious situation" on air travel and federal workers forced to work without pay since the shutdown began.

Schumer says he's a NO on this deal, slamming Republicans for refusing an ACA funding extension.

"Because of Republicans, Americans are going to suffer immensely as this health care crisis gets worse," he said. "Therefore, I must vote no."

He vows to bring this fight to 2026 midterms.
