Manchin won't say how large a bill he will support but sounds quite open to raising taxes. Says he would support raising corporate tax to 25 percent, capital gains to 28 percent — PolitiTweet.org

On ABC, Manchin sounds warm on supporting a Dem-only reconciliation bill, even using the word "human infrastructure." But he warns against spending too much “We have worked on the one track, we’re going to work on the second track" — PolitiTweet.org

Not all Democrats agreed that Republicans were “understandably upset” when Biden said he wouldn’t sign bipartisan deal without also having Dem-only spending bill. They said it was feigned outrage—but it was clearly a big enough threat to the bill for Biden to put this out — PolitiTweet.org

He says his comments “understandably upset some Republicans” because these oppose the reconciliation bill “My comments also created the impression that I was issuing a veto threat on the very plan I had just agreed to, which was certainly not my intent. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden cleans up his Thursday statement: “to be clear: our bipartisan agreement does not preclude Republicans from attempting to defeat my Families Plan; likewise, they should have no objections to my devoted efforts to pass that Families Plan and other proposals in tandem.” — PolitiTweet.org

Kudlow to Cassidy yesterday: Are you concerned about President Biden's clear linkage between the infrastructure bill and what will be a gigantic reconciliation package? ... Cassidy "I cannot control what Democrats do. My gosh, if I could, they wouldn't be Democrats" — PolitiTweet.org

WH puts out readout of call between Sinema and Biden: Biden tells her "he would fight to pass the Bipartisan Agreement, as he committed to the group. The President reiterated strong support for both the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill and a reconciliation bill" — PolitiTweet.org

Story here with @marianne_levine looking at his things could crater apart a day after bipartisan celebration "In endorsing the deal, Biden praised the group for 'keeping their word,' but then immediately broke his," said one Republican aide. https://t.co/7BWmi4moXR — PolitiTweet.org

Frustration with Biden's statement yesterday moving beyond Graham and into core group of GOP infrastructure negotiators, per an R aide. Biden said of bipartisan deal yesterday: If this "is the only one that comes to me, I’m not signing it. It’s in tandem" with reconciliation — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Sinema began working with Portman about three months ago, quietly. And things stayed quiet. This week the group put watermarks on a draft of their deal to prevent *certain people* from publishing a document laying out the spending program — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell sounding a little cooler on the bipartisan infrastructure deal riding alongside a Dem-only big spending bill "The president took the extraordinary step of threatening to veto it ... Endorse the agreement in both breath and threaten to veto it the next" — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

@marianne_levine Sen. Tester also helped: He constantly said things needed to wrap up. He ended up whiffing a few times, but eventually his urgency paid off “You have to push positive vibes if you’re going to get a positive result,” Tester explained of his strategy. — PolitiTweet.org
