Here are the 11 Republicans who joined Dems to break filibuster

Their votes allowed the Senate to clear the procedural hurdle and move toward increasing the debt ceiling.

Here are the Republicans who voted with the Democrats:

John Barrasso of Wyoming
Roy Blunt of Missouri
Susan Collins of Maine
John Cornyn of Texas
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
Rob Portman of Ohio
Mike Rounds of South Dakota
Richard Shelby of Alabama
John Thune of South Dakota
Both parties have made clear that the country must not default and that even coming close to it would likely bring catastrophic economic consequences.

Yet while the deal announced Thursday stands to avert immediate economic disaster, it does not resolve the underlying partisan stalemate over the issue. It merely delays the fight until another day.
