Megathread: Congressional Vote on the Iran Deal

[Gass3268]

Reps. Diana DeGette (D-CO) and Rick Larsen (D-WA) both support the agreement.

Really feels like the floodgates are opening.

[moderatevoter]

Senate Democrats remaining:
Manchin, Bennet, Blumenthal, Cantwell, Cardin, Heitkamp, Peters, and Wyden.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) is a yes, as well. 36. At least that's what Josh Earnest says.

[moderatevoter]

Woah. Sen. Heitkamp (D-ND) is a yes.

[Trapsy]

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is a yes. I would post a link but I am currently prohibited.

[moderatevoter]

Here's the link to Booker's statement, if anyone is curious.

Thanks, Trapsy! Welcome to Atlas.

[Gass3268]

Woah. Sen. Heitkamp (D-ND) is a yes.

Like I said, floodgates.

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) and Alma Adams (D-NC) support the Deal. Supporters are now up to 101 in the House!

Updated map of House Democrats - still a lot of yellow out there, and not a lot of red. Let me know if this map is missing anything.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

I'm thinking that Walter Jones and Thomas Massie will vote yes.

That would be nice.

I'm actually hoping this doesn't go to the House because Jones is facing a well-funded primary challenger and if he has to vote on this that wouldn't help him survive the challenge.  Massie should be safe no matter what he decides though.

If the Iran deal hadn't received such media attention and Fox News hadn't engaged in what I'd call fearmongering, I believe that Rand Paul, Jeff Flake, Walter Jones, Justin Amash, Thomas Massie, and other Republicans would wholeheartedly support it.

[Gass3268]

Reps. Suzan DelBene (D-WA) and Bobby Scott (D-VA) support the Deal.

[Frodo]

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) is a yes, as well. 36. At least that's what Josh Earnest says.

Confirmation. 

[Frodo]

Now that it is established that there is enough support in the Senate to sustain his veto, does everyone agree that President Obama is a lock to get that 41st vote he needs to maintain a filibuster, and prevent this disapproval resolution from ever reaching his desk? 

[Blair]

Booker was always someone I doubted so I'm glad he's firm.

Any word on Manchin? I heard he's leaning yes

[The Other Castro]

Cardin is a No, Bennet is a Yes. Now 38-3.

[Crumpets]

Cantwell, Peters, and Manchin alone get it to 41, and I'd say they're all significantly above 50/50.

[Crumpets]

Here's the Senate map, leaving Collins as undecided.

[The Other Castro]

Which of the Senators supporting the deal will not vote for the filibuster?

[Gass3268]

Reps. Dave Loebsack (D-IA), Kathy Castor (D-FL), Frank Pallone (D-NJ), and Jared Polis (D-CO) all support the Deal.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Which of the Senators supporting the deal will not vote for the filibuster?

I'd be surprised if Warner, Tester, Heitkamp, and Manchin went along with Reid on this.

[Gass3268]

Which of the Senators supporting the deal will not vote for the filibuster?

Coons and Manchin

[Torie]

Which of the Senators supporting the deal will not vote for the filibuster?

Coons will vote for cloture, and the undecided Manchin will vote for cloture, so the Dems need all four remaining undecided Dem senators to vote against cloture, to sustain a filibuster.

[Nhoj]

Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL) is a No

[Antonio the Sixth]

Ugh, f**king Cardin, now filibuster is probably out of reach. In Maryland, a primary challenge might be worth a try.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Ugh, f**king Cardin, now filibuster is probably out of reach. In Maryland, a primary challenge might be worth a try.

Good luck trying to primary someone based on their opposition to a deal that the vast majority of the public opposes, especially when he's not even helping to kill the deal.
