U.S. support of Israel, Jordan

Voting 56 for and 44 against, the Senate on Tuesday failed to reach 60 votes needed to end a Democratic filibuster against a bill that would authorize $3.3 billion annually in U.S. military aid to Israel over 10 years, impose American financial sanctions on individual­s and entities doing business with the Assad regime in Syria, authorize unspecifie­d military aid to Jordan and vow to help Jordan secure its borders with Syria and Iraq. Democrats said they would delay the bill until the government has been fully reopened. A yes vote was to advance the bill.

Yes: Toomey

No: Casey
