Senate Republicans hold briefing to bridge gap between rank-and-file members

In an effort to build consensus for a vote on the Better Care Reconciliation Act, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is holding a briefing during the Senate GOP’s weekly lunch Tuesday to inform rank and file members of the latest changes to the bill, according to The Hill.

GOP leaders plan to reveal the modified bill later this week, around the same time they hope to receive a score from the Congressional Budget Office.

“I’m for getting our work done now. I don’t think stringing it out any longer than next week helps us with the product,” Sen. John Coryn, R-Texas, told reporters Monday. “My personal goal is to have it up on the floor ready to vote, have the vote-a-rama, next week.”
