Really interesting to see the Vice President cast that vote before dawn. Well, certainly she leaves the u. S. Senate and she has to be back in that chair to break the tie. This isnt the first time youll see her breaking ties in an effort to try and pass the president s covid relief package. Look, this was a major moment on the senate floor, and they started this entire process yesterday at 2 30 in the afternoon. Then they had 15 hours of what is known up here as a voterama.

We are also watching less than an hour from now, the white house covid19 team holds a Press Conference as we get new warnings on Coronavirus Variants rapidly spreading across the country. Lets begin with manu raju on the hill. John harwood joins us from the white house. Manu, it is really interesting, Jared Bernstein said, no, were still negotiating but still full steam ahead into not needing a single republican vote. It is unlikely that this bill will win over any republicans, certainly not any Senate Republicans based on the size and scope of the legislation. They are pursuing this morning, early this mornin
Charge of the recovery act and it was hard as hell to get the votes for it to begin with. And then it was hard as hell to get the number even we got. But one thing we learned, is we cant do too much here. We could do too little. We could do too little and sputter. Real live people are hurting and we could fix it. And we could fix it. That is has been his message from the beginning. And President Biden is focused on this today. Hes expecting to speak live later this hour and on how ep plans to revised the economy in response to covid. And the latest jobs report came out this morning showing only 49,000 jobs were added last month across country. And still there is more. On capitol hill, republican freshman Marjorie Taylor greene, shes about to hold a News Conference and at the moment im going to use the term News Conference loosely as we will see if she actually takes questions from actual real reporters which she has long avoided.

Meeting she insisted she would not apologize for her vote. That as Kevin Mccarthy refuses to strip assignments from q anons Marjory Taylor greene. Vote tomorrow. Stay tuned for that. John harwood is here and ryan nobles as well. Ryan, you have been following all of the drama on the capitol tonight. Tell us about what happened inside this gop meeting, please. It was pretty remarkable, don. This was a meeting that spanned more than four hours tonight here on capitol hill.
