The U.S. Senate approved a cloture motion on July 22, 2026, to proceed with the nomination of Daniel Mack Traynor. Traynor, from North Dakota, is nominated to serve as a United States Circuit Judge for the Eighth Circuit.
The roll call vote, numbered 206 for the 119th Congress, resulted in 51 yeas and 46 nays. Three senators did not vote.
Utah Senators John Curtis and Mike Lee both voted in favor of the motion.
The motion to invoke cloture was agreed to, meeting the requirement of one-half of the Senate for a majority.
