Megathread: Congressional Vote on the Iran Deal

[Gass3268]

The info coming out on these side deals regarding Iranian self-inspection may make the vote even on sustaining the veto uncomfortably close.

There's a fair deal of controversy there with the original AP article.

Sounds like deliberate leaks to misinform the public.

[Gass3268]

Reps. Mike Honda (D-CA), Jerry Nadler (D-NY), and Jerry McNerney (D-CA) are all yes.

Nadler is the first NY Jewish Democrat to back the deal. He also represents Borough Park, home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities outside of Israel. Huge get for the White House!

Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) is a Yes

[Gass3268]

Reps. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI), Debbie Dingell (D-MI), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Rick Nolan (D-MN), and John Lewis (D-GA) are all yes. Yes totals at 65.

Rep. Mark DeSaulnier (D-CA) is leaning yes.

Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) is a no. No totals at 13.

[Gass3268]

Democratic Reps. Karen Bass (D-CA) is a yes.

[Gass3268]

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) is a Yes.

[Gass3268]

I'm starting to think that in the Senate they have some sort of planned released schedule on who supports the deal. It seems like every day one Democratic Senator jumps on board.

[Gass3268]

Rep. Elizabeth Esty (D-CT) is a yes.

Pelosi invited the ambassadors from each of the six world powers that negotiated the Iranian deal — the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China — to meet next month with House Democrats on their second day back in Washington following the long summer recess.

[Gass3268]

Reps. Cheri Bustos (D-IL) and Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) are both yes.

[Gass3268]

Republicans Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC), Justin Amash (R-MI) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) still on the fence

[Gass3268]

Sen. Cotton is upset Reid is considering a Iran Deal Filibuster

The fact that he's whining about it makes me think it might be possible.

[Gass3268]

Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) is a yes.

[Gass3268]

Reps. Susan Davis (D-CA) and Linda Sánchez (D-CA) are both yes.

[Gass3268]

Reps. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) are both yes. Totals are at 74.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) is a no. Totals are at 14, need 29 more to override.

[Gass3268]

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) is a yes.

[Gass3268]

Tom Carper will support Iran deal

Senate Map Update (Dark Green = 2 Yeses, Light Green = 1 Yes, 1 Undecided, Purple = 1 Yes, 1 No, Dark Red = 2 Noes, Light Red = 1 No, 1 Undecided,  Yellow = 2 Undecideds)

[Gass3268]

Reps. José Serrano (D-NY) and Scott Peters (D-CA) are both yes.

Serrano is significant as he is the 2nd NYC yes vote.

[Gass3268]

Reps G.K. Butterfield (D-NC) is a yes.

[Gass3268]

Rep. Julia Brownley (D-CA) is a yes.

[Gass3268]

Of the remaining undecideds, I think the only ones to really be worried about are Wyden and Casey. I believe they will probably vote against the deal, but I don't see anyone else going along with them.

A filibuster would be beautiful.

[Gass3268]

Rep. Joseph Kennedy (D-MA) is a yes.

New England Democrats are kicking butt.

[Gass3268]

Patrick Murphy is backing the deal.

[Gass3268]

Reps. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Gregory Meeks (D-NY), and Nydia Velazquez (D-NY) all support the Deal.

Updated House Map w/ Republicans

[Gass3268]

Senator Coons will be announcing his decision tomorrow at 2 PM.

I would be shocked if he doesn't support the deal with Biden and Carper lobbying him.
