Trump just now appeared to deny making any specific commitments or deals with House GOP holdouts during the final push to pass the BBB: “No deals. No deals. What I did is we talked about how good the bill is. I mean, that’s a deal I guess when you think about it.”
Republicans are trying locate Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, who delivered a surprising NO vote on the mega bill rule. Likely to try to flip him. I told a member I saw him bolt out of the chamber & leave the area. “Smart,” the member said.
