We are soliciting ideas from our, the relevant committees here in the Senate to see if there is a, you know, an issue set that we could put up for a reconciliation bill that would get 50 votes.

Obviously, you know, there's a lot of work that has to happen in the House and the Senate in order to make something like that become a reality. (05:09–05:20)
