Harry Reid was just on the Senate floor and credited John McCain with helping to arrange a deal on the pending presidential nominations that have had Senate Democrats on the verge of changing the filibuster rules. Not clear what the parameters of that deal are yet.

The key line from Reid: “It is a compromise. I think we get what we want, they get what they want.”

The first of the votes on the seven pending nominations at issue is scheduled for 11 a.m. ET, so we should know more soon.
