“He’s got the horsepower from the policy standpoint. But he’s also got the right temperament,” said Thune who added that if Portman can’t seal the deal, then “nobody can, I don’t think.” Sinema described Portman as “super nerdy. And I mean that as a compliment.” — PolitiTweet.org

Portman is retiring and is bridge between mods and other Rs. He says: “What takes courage is to find that middle ground and embrace the fact that our job here is not to simply express our points of view through our partisan rhetoric. Our job is to actually get beyond that” — PolitiTweet.org

Stabenow said she’s worked well with Portman but that the “proof is in the pudding” whether he can deliver. added: “I will believe there’s a deal when I see there’s a deal.” “Everybody's wondering: What's his end game?” Said a third Democratic senator — PolitiTweet.org

Can Portman seal the big bipartisan deal? He’s got the resume and the temperament, but Democrats are skeptical he can finish the job His response: “It’s much more comfortable to stay on the right and the left and be negative,” ⁦@marianne_levine⁩ https://t.co/XyOQIxwzQP — PolitiTweet.org

@heatherscope @sarahnferris “I could give a damn about the White House. We’re an independent branch of government,” DeFazio said in a brief interview afterwards. “They cut this deal. I didn’t sign off on it.” — PolitiTweet.org

This DeFazio story is everything In a fiery tirade to fellow Democrats during a closed-door meeting, DeFazio called the bill “crap.” He called Portman, Sinema and Collins the three “Republicans” crafting the Senate deal https://t.co/sdPMlYmH7e @heatherscope @sarahnferris — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell voted against the commission and took the lead in arguing it was redundant. He said to those downplaying Jan. 6 events, "I had a good deal to say about that, not once but twice. On Jan. 6 and again on Feb. 13. I don't see how I can express myself more forthrightly" — PolitiTweet.org

Sinema says in brief interview that meeting was “Productive" and they are "moving forward.” Are things on track? “It’s always hard to answer that, but yes. But that’s also my answer every day” One note: She declined to talk about the $3.5T spending number for next package — PolitiTweet.org

Sad to hear about Sen. Enzi’s passing. He was not the typical chatty senator, and was engrossed in his work at all times My quintessential interaction with him went like this: Sen. Enzi, how are you doing? [Enzi looks up from Kindle reluctantly] “Pretty good, until now” — PolitiTweet.org
