Washington — Jack Lew, the Obama administration’s Office of Management and Budget director, tells reporters at the Capitol that Senate Democrats are “not up to vote counts” on the tax deal and are still reviewing the agreement.

“We’re still at the stage where it is a very new framework,” Lew says. “There is a lot of conversation going on to make sure that everyone understands the details.”

Lew was huddling with Senate Democrats at a policy lunch. Vice President Biden will meet with House Democrats later this afternoon.
