Democratic Sens. Doug Jones (Ala.),(W.Va.),(D-N.J.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) voted to advance it. Senate Majority Leader(R-Ky.) voted against the legislation, a procedural move that will allow him to bring the bill back up.The legislation, which includes sanctions against the Syrian government and bolsters U.S. support for Israel and Jordan, was expected to strike a bipartisan note amid a deeply partisan shutdown fight when Republicans scheduled it last week.But a growing number of Democrats signaled they would vote against advancing the bill, arguing the chamber should be focused on getting an agreement to end the partial shutdown, which is currently on its 18th day.Democratic Sens.(Md.),(Md.),(Va.) and(Va.), whose two states have large populations of federal employees, sent their colleagues a letter urging them to vote against taking up the foreign policy bill because of the shutdown fight.“We write to urge you to join us in voting against the motion to proceed on Tuesday evening because the Senate should vote on the House-passed appropriations bills as its first order of business,” they wrote.
