Senate won't release tax bill tomorrow

The Senate won't release its version of the GOP tax bill tomorrow, according to a senior GOP aide. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said yesterday that the bill would come out on Thursday. The aide said this wasn't a delay, because the release of the Senate bill was always going to start after the House Ways and Means Committee finished marking up its bill.
Why this matters: Both chambers are on very tight timelines and trying to strike very difficult policy balances. Delaying introduction of the bill not only gives off the impression that things aren't going well (whether it's true or not), but also removes one more day that could have been spent getting the caucus on board with the bill.

I thought the House Ways & Means Committee finished up it's bill this morning,
(but I could be wrong.)
If true, that means the Turtle won't release the Senate bill tomorrow because he simply doesn't yet have the necessary 50 votes for passage.
