there are even more people involved. so that is the bi-partisan, and they had a deal last week, and then you had the powerful committee cheers not a part of the bipartisan group, saying, we are not okay with this, and senator schumer was not okay with it, and it blew up everything, and they had to reopen the negotiation again, and now, what it seems is that the white house is involved and on board, and senator portman ushered this in on behalf of the republicans and working closely with the white house, and also the committee chairs seem to be tentatively on board and hold their nose to vote for it, and see how the process moves forward, geoff. i would ask you the last time that senator schumer called for the test vote, he failed. does he have the 10 votes of the republicans and mcconnell s blessing? i have heard that mcconnell has blessed the package in that there is enough republicans to vote for it.
