Chuck Schumer just teed up a Senate vote Wednesday on the Freedom To Vote Act, the Democrats’ sweeping voting rights compromise designed to win over @Sen_JoeManchin. Needs 60 to defeat a filibuster. Not clear it has any Republican support. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheStalwart a fascinating what-if given the distance between Sinema/Manchin and the other 48, I’d guess the optimum l’ship strategy w 52 votes would be to negotiate between the 50 and let those 2 know it happens with or without them to get them to table. sort of like Rs did w Corker on TCJA — PolitiTweet.org

@BenjySarlin @TheStalwart right. no doubt there’d still be issues but not quite like this. I think a 52-vote D senate would mean more ppl flexing and making public demands. 50 votes means everyone drawing a line is seen as threatening to sink Biden’s agenda. whole diff incentive structure — PolitiTweet.org
