Here are the GOP senators who voted with Democrats against permanently ending government shutdowns

More than a dozen Republican senators on Monday night voted with all Senate Democrats to reject invoking cloture on a bill that seeks to permanently end government shutdowns.

Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson introduced the Eliminate Shutdowns Act, which would keep the federal government funded at its existing levels in two-week increments until lawmakers passed all 12 appropriations bills.

The legislation comes as the government hurdles toward a shutdown on Wednesday if no continuing resolution is reached that would keep the government funded at existing levels through Nov. 21. 

The vote was 61-37 with two members not voting. Here are the 14 Republicans who voted with the Democrats to block Senator Johnson's bill to permanently end all government shutdowns:

Senate Majority Leader John Thune*

Arkansas Sen. John Boozman

Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy

Maine Sen. Susan Collins

Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer

Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith

Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell

Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran

Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul

Nebraska Sen. Pete Ricketts

South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds

Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker.

*Thune initially voted in favor of invoking cloture but changed his vote in order to enter a motion to reconsider it in the future.

Thune said the Senate will vote on the House-passed continuing resolution on Tuesday. The Senate voted on the legislation earlier this month, but it failed due to Democratic opposition.
