Whip Katherine Clark is more pointed in her comments.

“In my opinion, we need team players and team players get to sit on exclusive committees”

This is hinting at proposed rules changes which would punish caucus rebels

Clarification:

Johnson did say that he will "build consensus around the Senate product" if they pass it.

But Johnson is not committing to passing the Senate bill, but rather examining it and other House NIL bills.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

NEW — @SpeakerJohnson said he would try to build support for the senates NIL bill if it passes

He says it’s a lame duck item, most likely.

@PunchbowlNews text subscribers had it a while ago. So sign up.

Would have been 75. Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) missed the vote tonight but would’ve been a yes, per spox

“Senator Rosen had an emergency dental procedure this afternoon, which caused her to miss the vote on the Protect College Sports Act. Had she voted, she would have voted Yes.”

Shaping up to be a weird vote

[Samantha Handler @sn_handler]

Tuberville is the first no on the NIL cloture vote

[Samantha Handler @sn_handler]

Minority leader Chuck Schumer just voted in favor of moving forward with this bill

[Samantha Handler @sn_handler]

🚨The bipartisan NIL bill just got enough votes to clear cloture.

Now we’ll see how bipartisan the vote is. Around 20 Dems voting in favor of advancing now.
