McConnell is a lot of things but he's not filibuster-omnipotent. Plenty of Senate Republicans want to do things and not just block things; infrastructure is a high-reward, low-risk option. This is a release valve for them + it eases pressure on Democrats to nuke the 60-vote rule. — PolitiTweet.org

No mention in McConnell's floor remarks today about the bipartisan infrastructure deal after Schumer said it'll move next week. Again, holding his cards close to the vest. He declined to comment on it Tuesday when I asked, said he's observing. — PolitiTweet.org

That isn't to predict how this ends; there remain obstacles to passing the infrastructure deal. But it hints at why McConnell isn't knifing it. His incentives here are more complicated than on Biden's other priorities. — PolitiTweet.org
