today, after frankly a defeated day that didn't end the way that they wanted it to, was that by holding up this process for whatever reason, they're stopping other senators, republican and democrat, from having their amendments heard on this process. this is not a timeline that democrats created. frankly, the only clock that these guys are up against is the idea that their supposed to be going on recess in a few days. the only thing they're grappling with here is how soon that happens? >> with regard to the amendment, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell spoke about that process earlier today. here's part of what he said. >> there are many outstanding amendments that are important, that would improve this legislation. and that deserve votes before the senate is asked to vote on final passage of this bill. the full senate deserves its full chance to shape this important legislation. >> ali, what is the tone tonight from republican senators, including senator hagerty? are there are other republicans that are agreeing with him or is everyone ready to move this along on the gop side?
