They want to bring it to the floor without the talking filibuster, but then leave it open long enough for the opposition to make asses out of themselves arguing against it.
This won't push it over the 60 vote threshold. They will then use the "reconciliation process".
Reconciliation - "Reconciliation is a special Senate legislative process authorized by the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 that allows budget-related legislation—spending, revenue, or the debt limit—to pass with a simple majority (51 votes) instead of the 60 votes required to break a filibuster. This accelerated procedure provides a key workaround for the majority party to pass major fiscal policy without bipartisan support. "
