Washington Post has in favor Senators and "leaners" at 31, with only 34 needed to sustain a veto.

Based on the "Undecided or unknown" list, here are Senators who have really just issued very vague non-committed statements:

Bennet
Coons
Cardin
Booker
Warner
Cantwell
Murray
Casey

Mikulski and Stabenow are just listed as unknown for no statements at all, but I have a tough time seeing them or the Washington ladies actually voting no. Or Bennet and Cardin for that matter...actually I don't see any of the above voting no, though a few might want to make a fuss about it before finally voting yes. So it seems all but certain the votes to sustain a veto in the Senate are there.

This is what Wyden said:

At this point I bet no Democratic Senators other than Schumer and Menendez will vote against it. Even Joe Manchin seems to be in favor. And since it's very unlikely Michael Bennet and Barbara Mikulski would be likely candidates to join Schumer and Menendez anyway and they haven't said anything, that almost all but confirms 34 votes.

Personally I'd rather have Obama veto it than it be filibustered. Better way of sticking the middle finger to warmongerers.
