The Senate likely will not be able to vote on it tonight. It is logistically impossible. He says to look for a vote around 3AM or 10AM tomorrow before it moves to the house.

Chuck Todd, very concerned the bill will not pass the House without a huge majority in the Senate.

The AFLCIO and the Heritage foundation are both against the bill. That could scare away some Dems and GOPers from voting for it. Could be a factor in the house.
