Good morning from the Capitol — a few quick nuggets from @PunchbowlNews AM this morning

House is getting into the action. Rules meeting now, as @SpeakerPelosi tries to deliver on @JoeBiden’s late request to extend eviction moratorium until Dec. 31.
@PunchbowlNews @SpeakerPelosi @JoeBiden Lots of Dems furious at the late request. we have NO IDEA whether this bill will pass the House and its a long shot for the Senate.
@PunchbowlNews @SpeakerPelosi @JoeBiden 2) Senate in. Procedural vote at 11:30a — no reason it shouldn’t pass. There were some problems on broadband language yesterday, but that seems to have cleared up
@PunchbowlNews @SpeakerPelosi @JoeBiden Crazy: WE STILL DONT HAVE A BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE BILL!

Text still isn’t finished. Our sources — many of whom are writing the bill, and negotiating out provisions — are absolutely exhausted. Same. SAME!
@PunchbowlNews @SpeakerPelosi @JoeBiden Pelosi has been saying that the House cannot go home without extending the moratorium. But, as she knows well, the key to that is 218.

Zero Republicans are going to help here.

In @PunchbowlNews this AM: “They did it. How, and what's next.”

Give them credit. The G10 -- the bipartisan infrastructure group of 10 senators -- and the White House got an infrastructure proposal locked down on Wednesday.
@PunchbowlNews And then they got a large majority to vote to advance it on the Senate floor. Final passage could come at some point next week, a potentially huge breakthrough after weeks of intense negotiations that almost fell apart several times.
@PunchbowlNews How did this happen?

@JoeBiden wanted it. Biden and @SenCapito weren’t able to get there, but when a president leans in and empowers competent and focused staff, things happen.

Happy Wednesday. @PunchbowlNews this AM: "☀️ 🚨McConnell dishes to us about the debt limit”

Big news this AM. @LeaderMcConnell
spoke to @bresreports
last night about the debt limit.

A quick 🧵 on this…
@PunchbowlNews @LeaderMcConnell @bresreports “I can’t imagine there will be a single Republican voting to raise the debt ceiling after what we’ve been experiencing,” @LeaderMcConnell told us
@PunchbowlNews @LeaderMcConnell @bresreports “I can’t imagine a single Republican in this environment that we’re in now -- this free-for-all for taxes and spending -- to vote to raise the debt limit,” McConnell said. “I think the answer is they need to put it in the reconciliation bill.”

Happy Tuesday — good luck to @JeffBezos, who is beating @bresreports to space.

But we have very important business to cover on earth: Bipartisan infrastructure negotiations have kept us very busy at @PunchbowlNews.

A few highlights from this morning’s edition:
@JeffBezos @bresreports @PunchbowlNews >@SenSchumer is giving bipartisan infra talks another day — kind of. Cloture vote tomorrow, then Thursday deadline on getting an infrastructure deal

Schumer wont get 60 unless a deal is done or damn close Wed. But alas — some more details on where we are and where were going
@JeffBezos @bresreports @PunchbowlNews @SenSchumer 1) Schumer can’t get 60 votes for cloture, and a bipartisan deal is nowhere close. This seems by far the most likely scenario. Both sides have turned more bearish in recent days about the prospect for an agreement.

In @PunchbowlNews this AM:

What Biden will tell Democrats today: The president -- who has as much at stake here politically as anyone -- will tell Senate Democrats behind closed doors that they did a great job in crafting this budget framework, but now they have to pass it.
@PunchbowlNews Biden will urge progressives inside the caucus to support the emerging “hard” infrastructure framework, and moderates to support reconciliation.
@PunchbowlNews → What this means: This internal agreement among Senate Ds is a critical first step. But it is only that -- a first step. Manchin and Sinema have privately signaled they may only support a much smaller reconciliation package, somewhere in the $1 trillion to $2 trillion range.

Happy Wednesday from the Capitol.

A bit more security this morning than usual as @JoeBiden readies for a visit to the Senate Democratic Caucus lunch.

Interestingly, WH/Senate Dems left today and tomorrow open bc they werent sure a deal would come together last night. it did
@JoeBiden In @PunchbowlNews this AM: The name of the game at the moment is holding 50 together on a $3.5 trillion budget bill.

Who we're watching: @Sen_JoeManchin, @SenatorSinema, @SenatorTester, @SenatorHassan, @SenMarkKelly.

Impt: Budget=blueprint. It’s a framework. Polices fit inside
@JoeBiden @PunchbowlNews @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorSinema @SenatorTester @SenatorHassan @SenMarkKelly We still have to see what order Schumer will bring legislation to the floor. Do Democrats bring up the bipartisan infrastructure deal for a vote first, if and when it’s ready, and then the budget resolution? We believe that’s the likely scenario, but Schumer will have to decide.
