Playbook: “The text of the bill was locked down last night, and it has moved in Rubio’s direction. We’ll see if it’s enough to sway the Florida Republican to support the bill. The package is likely to become public early this evening. This bill is scheduled for a vote in the early part of next week.”
“If the House passes the tax bill first, we have been told it would limit Senate Democrats’ ability to slow the floor process down with motions to send the bill back to conference. There are also risks with the House going first — Democrats can raise points of order that could force changes to the bill. But if everything goes smoothly, this tax bill could be to the president’s desk by Wednesday. And then, Congress turns its attention to keeping the government open.”
