@marianne_levine Murkowski has deep relationships with liberals and centrists. If she retires or loses, Senate likely shifts to the right “She adds value,” Tester said of Murkowski. “She’s not unreasonable. We don’t agree all the time, but shit, I don’t agree with my wife all the time either.” — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine tracked down Murkowski a few weeks ago and asked if she might become an Independent “The Republican Party that I am proud to call myself a member of … still is out there. On some days, though, it just seems like you've got to look harder to find it," Murk said — PolitiTweet.org

As Sen. Cramer put it: “I want a Republican to win in Alaska. And I think it’s pretty obvious she’s a winner.” “The most important thing to me is, we win,” said Sen. Cornyn. “I don’t know whether that’s the most important thing to the former president.” — PolitiTweet.org

Most Republicans think Murkowski is going to run -- but she hasn't announced anything yet. She suggested she's made a decision but "I have not made public my intentions." If she runs, she's got the establishment behind her -- in a very rare alignment against Trump — PolitiTweet.org

Took awhile to find Murkowski by herself in the Capitol to talk about Trump-backed challenge from Tshibaka. But when I did, she threw an ice dagger: Trump said "he's gonna endorse anybody that has a pulse ... this, apparently, is somebody with a pulse.” https://t.co/GOZozURhv0 — PolitiTweet.org

Most Democrats are going to have no issue with deficit financing some of hard infrastructure. Some think that's actually the way to go to begin with and that limiting the bill to what can be "paid for" is a mistake — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Whether the bill is paid for will have a real effect on the whip count on the Republican side. Ultimately the CBO score will give the best idea of whether it is, but many Republicans are expecting this bill to raise the deficit and that could be become an issue for finding 10 Rs — PolitiTweet.org

Says he's still undecided on bipartisan deal... “We need to see whether the proposal is credibly paid for. But I think it’s fair to say I’d like to see us get there. And I think the only way we can get there is to delink the two issues” — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell in Louisville this morning: “I appreciate the president saying that he’s willing to deal with infrastructure separately. But he doesn’t control the congress. The speaker and the majority leader of the senate will determine the order." — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine invokes a popular Twitter meme RE McConnell's infrastructure tactics: “It's not unlike him to sometimes pull the football out when the kicker is just about to kick it. I've seen him do that before." https://t.co/KzmsBHL5My — PolitiTweet.org

It's even better. He was told to be here at 11 a.m. but was nearby so he was able to get here just before 10. And it wasn't supposed to be his pro forma day but he was doing a solid for Sen. Schatz, who would have had to fly in from Hawaii — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Tim Kaine is here for the pro forma session nearly an hour after it started at 9 a.m. Either someone else bailed or he got stuck on 95 up from Richmond — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Why does this matter? Bipartisan deal seems to definitively have five GOP votes. But the next five include people that McConnell has sway over, people like Tillis, Young, Moran, Burr and Graham — PolitiTweet.org

Infrastructure deal back in trouble-- McConnell says Schumer + Pelosi need to join Biden and delink passage of bipartisan bill with Democratic-only reconciliation bill Says Biden can't let "Democrats hold a bipartisan bill hostage over a separate and partisan process" — PolitiTweet.org

"I think we're going to get a lot more than five more Republicans," Tester says on CBS. Predicts there will be more speed bumps but "we will get far more than 60 votes in the end" — PolitiTweet.org

AOC says that Sinema's defense of the filibuster "is essentially an argument saying why do anything at all?" because it could get changed in the future. "Democratic legislation, once enacted, is popular," she says on MTP, noting GOP struggles to undo their bills — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell accused Biden of "caving completely" to progressives on Thursday with pledge not to sign bipartisan deal without Democratic one Cassidy: “If we can pull this off, I think Mitch will favor. Now, he didn’t like the president putting a wrench in there” — PolitiTweet.org

On MTP, Trill Bill Cassidy seems confident Biden has kept Republicans on board and says McConnell may support bipartisan bill "I think Leader McConnell will be for it if it continues to come together” — PolitiTweet.org

Biden’s domestic agenda appears back on track in Congress (for today, at least), with Republicans praising his newly clarified approach to their bipartisan infrastructure plan and Manchin endorsing work on a separate, larger reconciliation package https://t.co/yGgIkoKNZN — PolitiTweet.org

Jon Karl asks if Portman would appear onstage with Trump again. He doesn't say. "He's definitely the leader of the party," Portman says. "The Republican Party and President Trump ought to focus on" policy — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

On ABC, Portman seems mollified by Biden's turnaround yesterday on the two-track approach “I am glad they have now been delinked and we can move forward with a bipartisan bill," he says. “We were glad to see them disconnected. And now we can move forward” — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin sounds like he's thinking of something a lot smaller than Bernie Sanders... “If they think in reconciliation I’m going to throw caution to wind [and support $6 trillion] when we can only afford 1, 1.5, maybe 2 … then I can’t be there” — PolitiTweet.org
