Senate GOP Whip John Thune on if Eric Greitens wins the #mosen nomination tomorrow: “I think if he were the nominee, it would cost millions and millions and millions of dollars because I think he's got a brand that's going to be very hard to defend in the general election.” — PolitiTweet.org

After a day waiting in #mosen, Trump says he’s endorsing “Eric” — but doesn’t say if it’s Eric Greitens or Eric Schmitt. GOP leaders nervous Greitens would put seat in play. The primary is tomorrow. “I trust the Great People of Missouri, on this one, to make up their own minds” — PolitiTweet.org

“Keeps her own counsel, I think as most of you know, and usually comes to her own decisions, pretty independent of any pressure that she might get from either side. So you know, I think she's going through that process right now,” John Thune added — PolitiTweet.org

Thune said he has spoken Kyrsten Sinema over his concerns about reconciliation bill, pointing to its tax increases on companies and proposal to hire new IRS agents to bolster tax enforcement. The bill would impose a 15 percent minimum tax on corporations.   “She's analyzing it.” — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer declined to say when he would schedule a vote on the burn pits bill, but told me it would happen: “very soon.” He would not say if he would insist on setting a 60-vote threshold for approval of Toomey amendments. “We gonna work something out with Republicans,” he said. — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin on Moody's and Penn-Wharton about bill's marginal impact on inflation. Asked him for his evidence it would slash inflation. "Pretty much common sense," he said.

Optimism among Democrats over the Manchin-Schumer deal but still an open question where Kyrsten Sinema comes down. She's facing pressure from both sides and criticism from a potential '24 rival (Gallego).
