Senate leaders push tax debate into Friday

Senate Republicans are pushing work on their tax bill into Friday as they try to address concerns over the deficit.
"For the information of all senators, the Senate will continue to debate the bill tonight. [But] the next roll call votes will be at 11 a.m tomorrow morning," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Thursday night.
The decision to skip a late-night session on Thursday comes as deficit hawks, led by Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), push for a guarantee that the Senate tax legislation won't increase the deficit.
