All of the Senators went along. It was a 98=0 vote on one of them. I don’t know who didn’t vote. That looks like a complete RINO infestation to me.
I pulled the first paragraph from Chicago publication. I would not consider 52 to 44 to be over whelming support. The cloture votes for both nominees were similar to the 52 to 44 vote. For some reason on final vote, they voted unanimously of those present to confirm Gayles nomination.
The vote totals are from the US Senate website.
“Both nominees received overwhelming support from the Senate during their confirmation votes: Ms. Yandle was confirmed by a vote of 52 to 44, and Judge Gayles was confirmed by a vote of 98 to 0.”

It appears Casey and Cochran are not in Washington. Coburn is there as these votes and others I looked at happened close to each other from about 11:00 am to 12:30 pm today.
