What about Vermont? Republicans hope Gov. Scott would run if Leahy retires. Leahy's response “Phil Scott has endorsed me. And the latest polls showed me ahead of everybody in the state ... I don’t even want to talk about it. If I run, I’ll be in good shape to run, and I’ll win.” — PolitiTweet.org

DSCC Chair Peters says GOP indecision will hurt them “I would think that they would make a decision before this time. Because it takes time to put a campaign together. ... They’re going to be intense for everyone who is running. And delay usually puts you at a disadvantage.” — PolitiTweet.org

Braun added that Grassley is a special case, considering his age of 87 years: “I know what I’d be doing. I’d be back on the farm picking weeds at least. Doing something. I would not be here.” Murkowski says: "If I run, I will win. I don’t see that playing out any other way," — PolitiTweet.org

5 R senators calling it quits now, more retirements could complicate majority push. NRSC Chair Scott says he'd be "surprised" if anyone else retires “I would guess that three out of the four [Republicans] would end up running, including Johnson." Braun says — PolitiTweet.org

RonJohn, Grassley, Thune + Murkowski still haven't announced reelect. Neither has Leahy. Grassley says he'll decide by mid-October, others have less firm timetables. What about RonJohn's fundraising? “I didn’t lift a finger to fundraise … you can’t read anything into that.” — PolitiTweet.org

Want RonJohn to run? Don’t work with Democrats on “crap” bills, he says "Want to retain a U.S. Senate seat in Republican hands in Wisconsin, you don’t participate in passing Part One of the 'Green New Deal," My look at indecision from 4 Rs -- and 1 D https://t.co/ZDNOK0Rc2b — PolitiTweet.org

Good look from @heatherscope @sarahnferris @marianne_levine on Democrats taking one more swing at elections changes, and risking another big letdown “Joe Manchin is not wavering on the filibuster. It’s just not happening.," says @jonathankott https://t.co/cQqe03zLbz — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Nugget in the story: As Dems head home for recess to write reconciliation: $1.2M in air cover from MoveOn (and $1M in additional spending) targeting GOP on tax breaks in Iowa, Ky., Fla. and Wis. — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

@marianne_levine Similarly, Manchin and Sinema were balking at budget resolution setting up $3.5T. Schumer told them: “If you won't vote yes on the budget resolution, I can't get them to vote yes” on the bipartisan bill." The party's two wings "each need each other,” Schumer said in an interview — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie was once a hard no on bipartisan infra. Schumer told him: “if you want the moderates to vote with the progressive vision, you can't vote no on this. You don't have that luxury.” How Chuck's keeping Dems in array -- for now https://t.co/rhIpMXcijz @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says every one of Biden's proposals will be in reconciliation bill in a "big bold way." And on voting rights, he says "everything is on the table" — PolitiTweet.org

"I cannot believe the Republicans will let the country default," Schumer says. "When Trump was president Democrats joined with him to raise the debt ceiling three times" — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says committees will be meeting weekly to write reconciliation bill over the August recess. He's given then until mid-September to write a bill, but the infra bill took more than a month to write and it's much smaller and less complex — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Schumer making really clear he's not spiking the football after passing infra bill and a budget resolution. Maybe like, a first down motion or something "It's as if we caught a nice long pass at midfield but we still have 50 yards to go to score a touchdown" — PolitiTweet.org

Sununu's back-up? "Brown, a Rye, N.H., resident, does not plan to run for political office in the 2022 cycle, but wants to support candidates who could break through partisanship, according a source close to Brown." — PolitiTweet.org

Uphill climb here to just change one part of bill at this point. -Crypto world opens up meticulously negotiated Senate agreement -train world, car world, plane world and boat world muscle in to have their say, changing bill significantly -Senate world has to swallow a new bill — PolitiTweet.org

“I’ve worked with Joe a lot and I’ve worked with Sinema a lot … they are going to do what they think is right. And I don’t think that means they are going to tear it down,” Tester said. Their reconciliation vote, he said, “depends on all sorts of shit.” https://t.co/LkkGEZ7DN7 — PolitiTweet.org

@AndrewJBates46 OK — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Sinema said she won’t support $3.5T and Manchin this am: “I have serious concerns about the grave consequences … if Congress decides to spend another $3.5 trillion.” Collins says they are fiscally responsible: “I hope they will break on this enormous expansion of government.” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

GOP prays Sinema and Manchin pare back Dems' big spending bill. Both are expressing concerns with $3.5 trillion package R whip Thune: “Their vote is the whole enchilada. If they want to stop this thing, they can. And I hope they will use that power” https://t.co/LkkGEZ7DN7 — PolitiTweet.org
