Bernie Sanders, the Budget Committee chairman, and Chuck Schumer disagree. They’re crafting a case to the parliamentarian that it should be allowed. But there’s a decent chance she disagrees. https://t.co/0LFWWpxmVb So what happens next? — PolitiTweet.org

So the $15 wage is in Biden’s Covid relief bill headed to the House floor next week. But he’s predicting it won’t survive. Why? He says it’ll likely get stripped out in the Senate under the “Byrd rule” that limits reconciliation to budget changes, i.e. spending and taxes. https://t.co/PT7ckW9Ilp — PolitiTweet.org

A bunch of progressives are suggesting an end-run: Have the VP preside over the Senate and rule the wage hike compliant, defying the parliamentarian. I’ve asked a number of experts and, yes, she can legally do that. And it’d take 60 votes to override her. But there are caveats! — PolitiTweet.org
