Here are the senators who voted against the bill to raise the debt ceiling

The Senate on Thursday passed a sweeping bipartisan plan to suspend the debt ceiling, just days away from a fast-approaching fiscal deadline to avert a federal default.

The upper chamber voted 63-36 to pass the legislation roughly an hour before midnight, after racing through a series of amendment votes that were all ultimately rejected. Five Democrats and 31 Republicans voted against the measure.

Among the provisions included in the plan is language that would suspend the debt ceiling through the end of next year, set new limits on federal spending and make changes to work requirements for some federal assistance programs. 

The passage comes after weeks of tense negotiations between the White House and House GOP leadership that produced a final deal that many liberals and hard-line conservatives have come out against — for very different reasons, naturally.
