Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said Thursday that \"there's commitment in our caucus that one pieces is not going to go forward and leave the rest of it back in the train station.\" Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., told ABC News that commitment to reconciliation is a requirement for her support of the bipartisan bill.

If progressives don't back the bipartisan bill, it could fall short of the 60 votes necessary to move it forward it in the Senate. Even if enough Republicans got behind the bipartisan bill to counteract potential progressive defectors, it's not yet clear if Schumer would bring a bill to the floor that doesn't have broad support within his own caucus.

When do we expect to see movement on these bills?

The exact timing on a path forward isn't entirely clear, but Schumer said last week he plans to bring both the bipartisan infrastructure package and a reconciliation package to the floor when the Senate returns from its two-week July 4 recess.

That timeline may be a bit ambitious. Reconciliation is a multi-step process requiring work by several Senate committees and two open-amendment processes.

Still, Democrats and Biden have been clear they want to move on infrastructure this summer.

So, buckle up for some Washington political drama -- in July.
