Ted Cruz pushed this idea back in ‘17 to allow a broader Obamacare repeal when Republicans were agonizing over the Byrd rule. Mitch McConnell never entertained it. And John McCain put them out of their misery by killing the “skinny” repeal vehicle. https://t.co/iXUFIAyRlx — PolitiTweet.org

Namely, it’s effectively going nuclear for the reconciliation process. If this majority can overrule the nonpartisan referee on what’s allowed, the next won’t be constrained. It sets a new precedent that anything goes in reconciliation if the party in power supports it. — PolitiTweet.org

One expert told me a VP has never overruled the parl. on the Byrd rule in its 30-year history. Still, it can be done. But Biden, who served 36 years in the chamber, is a Senate institutionalist in his bones. He favors the filibuster and appears unlikely to support this. — PolitiTweet.org
