Hakeem Jeffries heads into meeting with Pelosi as more Ds enter and they try to sort out demands from moderates who want CBO score before vote. Just asked him his view on having a score first. “As chairman of the caucus, it’s probably not best for me to express my personal view.” — PolitiTweet.org

As moderates demand estimate from CBO before a vote on $1.9T bill, House Budget Chairman John Yarmuth told me expects a full CBO score would take about 10-14 days, and wouldn’t be done until the week before Thanksgiving. Some think it could slip until the week of Thanksgiving. — PolitiTweet.org

CBO score remains the last remaining hurdle to getting a vote today. Hoyer said there would not be a CBO score today. “It could not be done today,” he said of a cost estimate. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ron Kind says the issue among moderates is whether they’re prepared to vote for the bill, saying it’s “more of a scoring issue right now.” Kind said Pelosi is trying to make sure “people are in a comfortable spot.” Kind says he plans to vote for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi trying to resolve concerns among moderates over lack of analysis from CBO over bill. Leaving Pelosi’s office, Rep. Jared Golden told me he’s a NO “without a CBO score.” It will take more time to get such an analysis Pelosi can only afford to lose three Democratic votes — PolitiTweet.org

With SALT resolved in House, the last two remaining issues are immigration and resolving concerns from moderates who want an accounting from CBO. But leaders say they are confident those will be resolved tomorrow — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

House Ds have resolved another sticking point: How to deal with SALT. Under new SALT deal, deductions would be capped at $80,000 per year over a nine-year time span. Approach differs from Bernie Sanders’; Malinowski, who helped cut the deal, told me he’s talking w Sanders — PolitiTweet.org

House Dem leaders see tomorrow as the day they can finish the rule, $1.75T Build Back Better bill and infrastructure bill, per senior Dem aide. Infrastructure bill would then go to Biden’s desk. $1.75T would go to Senate for further negotiation with Manchin and other Senate Dems — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Pelosi makes no mention in her letter about timing of floor vote on the rule and the bill, which means they still don’t have the votes locked down. She circulates a WH analysis about the bill’s projection to cut the deficit. https://t.co/h75DOsqsdi But CBO has not scored it yet — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic lawmakers say a number of major provisions are still being finalized — SALT deductions, immigration and prescription drug pricing. It’s another sign that votes to pass the $1.75T bill don’t appear imminent as they try to iron out the final areas of disagreement . — PolitiTweet.org

Kurt Schrader, Blue Dog Dem, told me he “doesn’t see any movement” for a vote tonight on the $1.9 trillion bill.  Asked if he could support the bill, he indicated the bill is still changing.  “I don’t know what ‘it’ is, so we are trying to figure it out,” he said — PolitiTweet.org

"So the two things they told us have not been kept together -- so there certainly is a lack of trust among moderates,” Cuellar said — PolitiTweet.org

"They told us they were not going to move this til they were not going to have 50 votes in the Senate. They also told us they were going to vote on BIF until Sept. 27. And here are they are," he said, referring the shorthand of the bipartisan infrastructure framework.” — PolitiTweet.org

He said there are outstanding issues to resolve first. But Cuellar said there has been a lack of trust caused by broken promises of Democratic leaders. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Henry Cuellar, a Blue Dog, told us there are enough moderates who would tank the procedural vote for the $1.75 trillion bill tonight, saying the rule "is not going to pass" if it comes up. "As of right now, there are enough votes in my opinion to vote no on the rule.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Case, Blue Dog Dem, told me he hasn’t changed his position: There must be a score from CBO before he can vote for $1.75T bill “Everything is in the letter,” he said, referring to the letter he and four other moderates signed. Asked if he changed his position, he said: “No.” — PolitiTweet.org
