Flake and Manchin Yes. Murkowski No. It passed cloture.

[underpants]

It passed. 52-48 ---- CORRECTION 51-49

[irresistable]

1. can't be 48

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Manchin voted to proceed (invoke clotoure)

so it would be 52 - 48 (with the 1 Democratic defection).

[Funtatlaguy]

2. 51-49.

[underpants]

18. Your right. 51-49

My bad.

[Squinch]

3. On cloture or on the actual vote?

[BumRushDaShow]

6. Cloture

[Squinch]

10. Thanks.

[john657]

8. On cloture,

the final vote for confirmation is tomorrow.

[PoliticAverse]

9. This isn't the confirmation vote. It's a vote on ending debate. n/t

[Botany]

4. Profiles in Courage

[BigmanPigman]

5. It isn't over yet, I think people are deciding still.

[underpants]

11. Yeah but the four undecideds all have voted.

[BumRushDaShow]

16. They voted for CLOTURE

not the final vote though (just to clarify for DU).

Many of them always vote on the motion to proceed (cloture) but may vote differently on the final vote. One more opportunity to get them.

[john657]

17. 51-49 to advance to final vote. n/t

[pamdb]

7. Manchin

Manchin is ahead by what, 12 points? Just because he voted for cloture, does that mean he has to also vote for yes on the final vote?

[Funtatlaguy]

13. No. He will do what Collins does. She will hold 3pm presser today.

[PoliticAverse]

14. No. The votes are separate. You can vote yes to end debate and no on confirmation...

and vice versa.

[underpants]

19. That's what McCain did on the health care bill

Yes on cloture and then the thumbs down.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

15. No.
