Senate Republicans blocked moving forward on a bipartisan infrastructure bill that’s still being negotiated on Wednesday. Surprisingly, members of the group say things are all good. @marianne_levine https://t.co/I662OLw5cQ — PolitiTweet.org

Jerry Moran is not on the statement, and neither is Kevin Cramer. So right now it's 10 Republicans and 12 Democrats publicly saying things are all good — PolitiTweet.org

After this vote fails, the bipartisan group is expected to put out a statement saying things are still on track with their infrastructure proposal. — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty anticlimactic floor vote on Senate's infrastructure negotiations right now. All Republicans voting no, all Democrats voting yes to advance the bill. Will fail to get 60 to advance, imminently — PolitiTweet.org
