Grijalva on whether Sinema is vulnerable in 2024. “But coming from Arizona, I think the level of angst among Democrats, mainline Democrats and progressives, is pretty strong. And does it last forever? I don't know.” — PolitiTweet.org

Raul Grijalva to me on Manchin/Sinema: “What I find offensive is the inordinate amount of power that one or two individuals will have in this question..For them to try to shift that responsibility to someone else they haven't done their part of the lifting that I find offensive.” — PolitiTweet.org

The WH believes the bill will raise $2.1T in revenue and could lead to some deficit reduction. The bill of course has NOT been scored by the CBO. It’s possible the price tag could increase beyond $1.75T for the overall bill as well. Here’s a chart WH is circulating https://t.co/CuhpSDKBzs — PolitiTweet.org

No sense of timing on vote during morning whip meeting, per House Dem members. “Goal” is to have a vote today, DeLauro says. WH and committee chairs going through various sections of the bill. Also, Blue Dog Dem Jim Cooper told me he will vote YES on the $1.75T bill. — PolitiTweet.org

As Democratic leaders say Virginia results show they need to move quickly, Manchin's interpretation: "I just think the message that was really sent if we're going to do something, let's take time and do it right. Let's make sure that people know what's in it." https://t.co/CRiPV1n352 — PolitiTweet.org

“That may be the case,” House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn says when asked by @wolfblitzer if it was mistake to hold onto the infrastructure bill as long as the House has. But says it’s “water under the bridge.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

After weeks of saying the House would only pass a bill that would pass the Senate, the House is now going its own way and letting the Senate change that plan —- mainly because of Sen. Joe Manchin’s calls to change the bill and Pelosi’s push to get votes on both bills at same time — PolitiTweet.org
