Ali, the infrastructure bills on both tracks seem to be going shockingly smoothly. The bipartisan bill is even on more solid ground today than it was yesterday. Mitch mcconnell s support now is pretty strong where yesterday it was a vote, and it was a surprising vote. Now he has voiced his support in a very strong way. So i m i m surprised at how well it s going. It s very complex, twotrack thing that they re trying to do, which has never been done before. Yeah. So i got to check with norm, you know? am i getting, you know, ahead of this, or is this really going as well as i think it is? well, it s a wise thing to do. I ve often used norm for the same reason. I look forward to the show, my friend. Have yourself a good evening. Thank you, ali. 24 hours after the senate s big bipartisan vote in favor of the biden infrastructure bill, the enormity of the victory for president biden appears to be even more solid than it did with last night a 67 votes in favor of the bill.

nancy pelosi reiterated, they ll vote when they have the votes. it does not seem she has them, with progressives still waiting from the green light from key senators like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. i m hallie jackson in washington, along with our nbc news team, monica is posted at the white house. ali vitali is on the hill. and mon, let me start with you. we are hearing from jen psaki, we know the small group of reports that travels with the president is getting ready to leave the white house, they re going to head down pennsylvania avenue. a president showing up might mean the end might be near. this is it. this is also a big time lowering of expectations. jen saki say if there was a deal, you guys would know about it. that s not what this meeting is about. our sources say that s not where the negotiations are stand right now, and the white house is saying these things always happen at the end, they come down to the wire. just think about everything that president bid
