More than a dozen Republicans joined a largely Democrat effort to advance a gun control bill in the Senate on Tuesday night.
Notable Republican senators, including Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Mitch McConnell (R-KY), helped Democrats pass a procedural vote, 64 to 34, a mere two hours after the text of the bill circulated.
The bill could be passed later this week by the Senate and then move onto the House, where it is expected to pass. The bill would then go to President Biden’s desk.
Notably, the 80-page legislation includes language on highly controversial so-called red flag laws.
Below are the 14 Republicans who voted for the bill on the procedural vote:
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX)
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO)
Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC)
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT)
Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH)
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA)
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Rep. Todd Young (R-IN)
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC)
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)
CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY IS THE FUTURE AND GUN CONTROL IS THE PAST
