McConnell says there should be no "artificial timetable" for bipartisan infrastructure bill. Saturday is supposed to be the beginning of a long recess, but alas, it will not be — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer: "The longer it takes to finish the bill, the longer we'll be here" — PolitiTweet.org

Crucial update: They are still working on the text of the bipartisan infra bill — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

The latest (nonfinal) draft of the bipartisan infrastructure deal clocks in 2,746 pages. Just some light weekend reading — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine McConnell also knows becoming face of bill's opposition doesn't help him with Manchin and Sinema with filibuster. “He said he wanted us to be successful and he was able to be there at the end. I think he realizes it’s important for the institution,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Sen. Schatz had warm words for McConnell on Wednesday ahead of vote on the floor. He declined to discuss what he said “I’m happy to admit that I was wrong” if McConnell keeps up support for the bill, Schatz said. — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

@marianne_levine Potential McConnell successors Thune, Barrasso and Cornyn all opposed moving forward. So did Ernst and NRSC Chair Rick Scott, who is hitting bill as "insane deficit spending." Kennedy on McConnell: "I think he’s been for the bill since Day One," — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell stirs GOP intrigue with support for Biden’s bill. His closest allies didn't know where he would come down until right before vote; some learned from his tweet. McConnell + Blunt are only R leaders supporting bill at moment https://t.co/0UBFkOfmli @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

Still no bipartisan bill text, Senate will come back in at 11 a.m. tomorrow. Some members have bounced for the time being so could be tough to schedule votes tomorrow — PolitiTweet.org

Is Trump pull waning? “Trump’s not doing so well,” said one Senate Republican. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have some clout. But he’s not God ... McConnell thinks that there are a lot of people out there that fundamentally don’t want the president just choosing this person.” — PolitiTweet.org

Walker oppo book looks like major drag: “Some of it’s pretty bad, obviously: physical abuse and pulling a gun on his wife, if that’s true,” Cornyn adds Thune: “Sometimes people who have success in one area of life and translate it to politics, it’s not as easy as it looks.” — PolitiTweet.org

GOP to Herschel Walker: Consider staying on the bench “I want to win that race. And to the extent that he’s handicapped by some of these things that would make that unlikely, I’d prefer to have somebody else,” Cornyn say ⁦@marianne_levine⁩ https://t.co/Hq9iOQDfvq — PolitiTweet.org

Thune also raises prospect of more delay if text isn’t finished soon “There’s a good possibility they’re not voting until next week” — PolitiTweet.org

Dem aide: “The rumors and innuendos are false. Schumer agreed from the beginning The substitute will be the agreed to text from the bipart group. That’s still the case.” — PolitiTweet.org

Seems like thing are clearing up. Senate about to advance bipartisan bill over motion to proceed. Next step: finish text, attach as substitute amendment — PolitiTweet.org

Bipartisan bill not finished and draft floating around not supported by Rs, per two GOP sources familiar with dynamics. Republicans seeking assurances from Schumer that G10 bill will be the actual substitute “If it’s not Sinema-Portman, I’m out,” Tillis says. @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org
