Updated 8:18 p.m. | The Senate next week will consider giving final approval to an unemployment benefits extension, thanks to a procedural vote Thursday. Given the wide national interest in this story, we're posting the full tally sheet and a breakdown of the bipartisan 65-34 vote to end a filibuster against bringing the legislation up for debate. The vote came 89 days after benefits expired late last year. Supporters of the bill said that as of today, 2.24 million Americans have been cut off. There are more hurdles to clear before the Senate can pass the bill, not to mention a wide disparity with House Republicans leadership that leaves it an open question whether the legislation would ever reach President Barack Obama's desk. Every Democrat and the two independents who caucus with Democrats voted to advance the bill, while Republicans split. Here's the breakdown on the GOP side: Republicans voting to advance the bill: Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire Dan Coats of Indiana Susan Collins of Maine Bob Corker of Tennessee Dean Heller of Nevada Ron Johnson of Wisconsin Mark S. Kirk of Illinois Lisa Murkowski of Alaska Rob Portman of Ohio Patrick J. Toomey of Pennsylvania (Updated: Coats, Corker, Johnson, Kirk, Portman and Toomey had voted to filibuster an extension in February , when an earlier measure came a single vote shy of ending a GOP filibuster.) Republicans voting against advancing the bill: Lamar Alexander of Tennessee John Barrasso of Wyoming Roy Blunt of Missouri John Boozman of Arkansas Richard M. Burr of North Carolina Saxby Chambliss of Georgia Tom Coburn of Oklahoma Thad Cochran of Mississippi John Cornyn of Texas Michael D. Crapo of Idaho Ted Cruz of Texas Michael B. Enzi of Wyoming Deb Fischer of Nebraska Jeff Flake of Arizona Lindsey Graham of South Carolina Charles E. Grassley of Iowa Orrin G. Hatch of Utah John Hoeven of North Dakota James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma Johnny Isakson of Georgia Mike Johanns of Nebraska Mike Lee of Utah John McCain of Arizona Mitch McConnell of Kentucky Rand Paul of Kentucky Jim Risch of Idaho Pat Roberts of Kansas Marco Rubio of Florida Tim Scott of South Carolina Jeff Sessions of Alabama Richard C. Shelby of Alabama John Thune of South Dakota David Vitter of Louisiana Roger Wicker of Mississippi Republican Jerry Moran of Kansas did not vote. (He also did not vote during the key February unemployment vote.)
