On background call, a WH official had harsh words for the senators who are sponsoring Rounds-King.
“We are officially asking the sponsors of the bill to withdraw their sponsorship, allowing for the possibility that they were grievously misinformed about the bill’s contents.”

The official also attacked Lindsey Graham, and the White House refused multiple requests to have these attacks put on the record.
Some highlights from that White House official:
“I’m not aware of when Lindsey Graham became the chairman of the Democratic caucus.”
“Lindsey Graham’s presence on those bills is the problem.”
Says Graham is an “obstacle” to DREAMer relief & keeping people safe.

WH is hoping the Grassley bill, which mirrors Trump's framework, will get 60 votes “once folks realize that these other proposals are completely unserious.”
Cornyn said yesterday that the plan is to have the Senate vote on Grassley bill last in order to frame it as last-ditch.
