Going this route could give Democrats a vote on paid sick leave without jeopardizing passage of the bill to avert the strike since addition of the language in underlying bill would erode GOP support in the Senate — PolitiTweet.org

House Dem leaders are discussing whether to approve two different bills tomorrow — one to give workers paid sick leave and the other to pass the tentative railway agreement that is silent on the issue, per multiple sources. Strategy has not been finalized yet — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders wants a vote on amendment on paid sick leave for rail workers or he won’t agree to a quick vote on passage. “It’s my intention to block consideration of the rail legislation until a roll call vote occurs on guaranteeing 7 paid sick days to rail workers in America." — PolitiTweet.org

Some Republicans torn about supporting railway bill. Roger Marshall: "I would much prefer us not to intervene, but at the same time for this to shut down will be horrendous for Kansas as well as for Kansas agriculture, so I think all the cards are on the table right now." https://t.co/0SE8ZIkmV1 — PolitiTweet.org

I asked McConnell if he would support Trump if he’s the GOP nominee and he wouldn’t say. “Look, let me just say again, there is simply no room in the Republican Party for anti-Semitism or white supremacy, and that would apply to all of the leaders in the party” seeking office — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell: “First let me just say that there is no room in the Republican party for anti-Semitism or White supremacy and anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view, in my judgment, are highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the United States” — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s draft of the joint resolution circulating on the Hill directing the two sides to implement earlier deal to avert strike. Unclear if there will be changes to this version before House votes tomorrow. https://t.co/boG18hZVUt — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell on legislation to avert rail strike. "We’re gonna need to pass a bill." On omnibus funding bill, McConnell said there's "widespread agreement" that they want a deal. But he said that Rs are pushing for more defense/Ukraine spending and Dems want domestic spending hike — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi told reporters that the debt limit didn’t come up at the WH meeting. Another sign that the issue of avoiding the first-ever debt default will likely be left to the new Congress — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy: “I don’t think anyone should have a meeting with Nick Fuentes.” Says he doesn’t think Trump should associate with Kanye West. Earlier he said that Trump had condemned Fuentes though Trump hasn’t. — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy criticizes Biden administration on rail deal but says he expects legislation to avert strike to pass. “Nobody wants this to happen…I think it will pass.” — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi says House will pass bill to implement September rail agreement tomorrow morning. Schumer says that McConnell and him agreed to get bill passed Senate "ASAP." Schumer says they want to pass bill well before Dec. 9 deadline. "Our real deadline is sooner than that." — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Schumer says at WH that four leaders indicated that they "would try to work with getting to an omnibus rather than getting to a CR." That is a key question: Whether to approve massive bill to fund agencies or do a stop-gap past Dec. 16 deadline. Leaders still want an omnibus — PolitiTweet.org

Roger Marshall told me: "I would much prefer us not to intervene, but at the same time for this to shut down will be horrendous for Kansas, as well as for Kansas agriculture, so I think all the cards are on the table right now. I haven’t decided what I’ll do." — PolitiTweet.org

GOP senators still evaluating bill to avert rail strike Susan Collins told me it "deserves careful consideration" "I’m going to wait and listen to the debate at lunch today before reaching any kind of conclusion." Joni Ernst: "I’m going to have to see." — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Asked if he will allow a vote on legislation to avert the rail strike to happen by the Dec. 9 deadline, Bernie Sanders just told me:  “We will have more to say about that later.” He criticized the deal for lack of paid sick leave. “That is outrageous.” — PolitiTweet.org

Expectation in the Senate is there will be enough votes to overcome a filibuster and pass legislation to avert a potential railway strike, per several Senate sources. Timing is unclear but House expected to act first later this week. Any one senator can slow down a vote. — PolitiTweet.org
