And Graham is an aye on Haaland cloture... I thought I saw that right the first time but wasn't sure.
So, if everyone but Burr votes again on this one, expect it to be a 53-46 vote to advance Haaland.
Sullivan joins Murkowski, Collins and Graham in voting to advance Haaland.

29 nays so far on Garland for cloture.
Looks like that will be the total. I'm guessing Cramer is out of town and will miss this vote as well.
Including today's two cloture votes, Capito and McConnell have still backed all but one Biden nominee that has come to the floor.

There is at least one other Titanic survivor that I am aware of having been elected to a State Legislature after the sinking: Robert Williams Daniel, a Conservative Democrat, was elected in 1935 to the Virginia Senate where he would serve until his death in 1940.
Coincidentally, he was saved in the same lifeboat (boat 7) as future Minnesota State Representative John Pillsbury Snyder.
Considering there were only 28 individuals on that lifeboat, it’s quite something that there were two future state legislators aboard.

That Titanic survivor went on to be elected to one term in the Minnesota State House in 1926. He would then lose reelection 2 years later by 102 votes. The district was based in Minneapolis, but I have not further specifics on that. ImageImage
Many years after his death, his wife gave this 1980 interview:
Of course, don't take everything she said as gospel, though based on one detail she gives here: her husband was in the inside bunk and she was against the hull, so the iceberg would have passed just inches away from the bed in which she was lying.

Motion to proceed on the key legislation tab. We all know exactly how this vote will play out. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
If all 100 Senators are present and voting, expect this to wind up 51-50
As expected: 50-50. Waiting for Harris to take the President's chair from Leahy to wrap this up and break the tie.

As of this moment, Bernie Sanders and Mitch McConnell have voted aye on the exact same number of confirmation votes (11/12) thus far in 2021. They opposed different nominees however: McConnell opposed Mayorkas (confirmed 56-43) and Sanders opposed Vilsack (confirmed 92-7).
Burr & Capito are the other two who have only opposed one nominee on a confirmation floor vote, though Capito also missed a vote and Burr missed 2 votes.
You then have Cornyn, Fischer, Young & Blunt (though Blunt missed a vote as well) who have only voted against the confirmation of 2 nominees.
