Jon Tester, the only Democratic senator in a state that voted for Trump by double digits besides Manchin, says he supports Tanden because she's "plenty well qualified," per Hill pool.
More from Tester on Tanden, via Hill pool: "If you take a look at the folks who we voted in the last cycle, I think she’s pretty damn qualified... Anybody who can get both the left and the right mad has got to be qualified.”
Tester says the White House should not pull Tanden's nomination and says "I hope it moves forward," per Hill pool. "I think she’s qualified. She’s different."
Tanden needs at least one GOP senator while holding onto Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Kyrsten Sinema.

The only undecided Republicans who haven't opposed any Biden nominees so far are Shelley Moore Capito and Lisa Murkowski. forbes.com/sites/andrewso…

Ted Cruz: "The plan had been to stay through the weekend with the family."

Says he had "second thoughts" almost as soon as he sat down on the plane.
Cruz: "When I arrived and saw the initial firestorm, what had started as second thoughts that I had as soon as we left grew even greater."

"I certainly regret this has become a distraction," he says, comparing it to "every Texan across the state... taking care of your family."
Here's a Freudian slip: "I was taking care of my family the same way Texans all across the state were taking care of my family."

Via Hill pool:

Q: “You strike me as the person who took the biggest political risk today, because obviously you’re up for reelection.”

Murkowski: “This is not about me. This is not about me. This is not about me."
Murkowski: "There are consequences with every vote... but I cannot allow the significance of my vote to be devalued by whether or not I feel that this is helpful for my political ambitions."
Murkowski on the Capitol attack: "I still... it hits me. I see all of the trash and the litter and the clutter. I hear the sound of the Capitol Police officer who was wretching in the bathroom because he'd just gotten pepper-sprayed."

Zelensky: "There was one unpleasant thing. Until now I have not spoken about this. The publishing of our conversation. I think this is very wrong..."

@JonathanSwan: "I can see you're angry with President Trump. Maybe a little bit, huh?"

Zelensky: "A little bit? [laughs]."
Powerful new meme format
The frustration is palpable
