• Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey.

In the U.S. Senate, 19 Republicans voted in favor. they are:

1. Roy Blunt of Missouri
2. Richard Burr of North Carolina
3. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
4. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia
5. Susan Collins of Maine

8. Deb Fischer of Nebraska
9. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
10. Chuck Grassley of Iowa
11. John Hoeven of North Dakota
12. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
13. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
14. Rob Portman of Ohio
15. Jim Risch of Idaho
16. Mitt Romney of Utah
17. Dan Sullivan of Alaska

Thirty-two members of the GOP were persuaded that infrastructure was more important than a Republican Party unified against Progressive dominated Democrat Party.

This list contain a number of moderate Republicans (Collins, Burr, Murkowski, Portman, Graham, Romney) and two who will not seek re-election (Blunt, Kinzinger). All told, this suggests that the Republican Party is divided as it faces a Presidential election in 2024.
