voted 67-33 Tuesday to advance the Ryan-Murray budget compromise that
conservatives oppose as fiscally irresponsible. Helping
Democrats get the votes they needed, 12 Republicans voted with all 55 Democrats
to begin debate on the measure.

joining Democrats to invoke cloture include Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Roy Blunt
(Mo.), Saxby Chambliss (Ga.), Susan Collins (Maine), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Orrin
Hatch (Utah), John Hoeven (N.D.), Johnny Isakson (Ga.), Ron Johnson (Wis.),
John McCain (Ariz.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and Rob Portman (Ohio). - See more at:
