Thanks to McConnell forcing a cloture vote today instead of fighting as Cruz had suggested, the Democrats have filibustered the disapproval vote and now the Iran Deal stands as is.
BREAKING: Cloture vote fails.
The disapproval resolution does not advance.

Ted Cruz said we don’t have to lose and he was right. McConnell didn’t like the moves he was seeing in the House and made sure to end it. So now it’s over.
I’ll post the cloture roll-call vote as soon as it is published.
Below is the roll-call vote:
