Fresh off his Daily Show appearance, Vice President Joe Biden is on Capitol Hill this morning to speak privately with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid about health care.
As we reported earlier, Biden agreed it’s “baffling” that Democrats need 60 votes to get anything done in the Senate.
The health care plan is far from a sure thing in the Senate, and a first test procedural vote is expected to get debate started either Friday or Saturday.
Biden and Reid are huddling this morning, hours before Reid is expected to reveal the chamber’s bill and Congressional Budget Office score to his caucus members tonight. Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, a former senator from Colorado, also are reportedly attending.
