MANCHIN: "I DON'T SEE A DEAL TONIGHT" ON INFRASTRUCTURE BILL

From CNN's Lauren Fox

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin emerged after more than an hour in his hideaway with Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and White House officials to say he doesn't "see a deal tonight" on the infrastructure bill.

The West Virginia senator doubled down that he is at $1.5 trillion and he believes they can do enough with that price tag.

When asked about the prospects of a deal tonight, Manchin said, “I don’t see a deal tonight. I really don’t."

SCHUMER SAYS SENATE WILL RECONVENE AT NOON TOMORROW

From CNN's Ali Zaslav and Manu Raju 

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Senate will reconvene at noon tomorrow, likely because the Senate has yet to address a potential lapse in surface transportation funding if the bipartisan infrastructure bill doesn’t pass tonight. 

A funding extension would need to originate in the House. Both chambers can pass it quickly by voice vote.
