16. It's not my chain, but it is indeed the weakest link.

Johnson is free to reconvene the House and hold a vote on the Senate's compromise bill. He is equally free to pass his own bill that will then have to go back to the Senate.

A Republican source familiar with the negotiations told The Hill that at least 10 Democrats are now expected to vote to let the House bill advance so it can be amended with the substitute legislation.

As for "fear of the base", senators each have different "bases", as do representatives. I think it's unwise to assume that the type of voters who make up Jon Ossoff's base are the same as those who make up Elizabeth Warren's base.
