Without divining motives, I’ll just observe that Joe Manchin said last year he was praying the 50-50 Senate ends and that Democrats get 51. This gives him operating room to appeal to his ruby-red state without single-handedly torching president’s plans. https://t.co/jbM5oQxWUp — PolitiTweet.org

This would be about the biggest story in Congress this time last year, but 51 votes sure changes things https://t.co/ePgM67LGzF
