.@RepDeanPhillips (D-Minnesota) says Joe Biden should NOT run for re-election in 2024. Asked directly, he says: "no, I don't." "I think the country would be well served by a new generation of compelling, well-prepared, dynamic Democrats to step up." https://t.co/CLhHK1rz13 https://t.co/mvB7piLsM4 — PolitiTweet.org

If Republicans kill the same-sex marriage bill it won't be because Joe Manchin cut a reconciliation deal. Procedural vengeance doesn't translate to normal voters; votes on high-salience cultural issues matter on the merits. If they vote no, it's because they believe no. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans came back to the table on USICA/chips WHILE Schumer was promising a reconciliation bill pre-recess. Difference is it went from a small bill (drug pricing + ACA money) to a medium bill (+ climate, taxes). Mitch McConnell said chips was a national security necessity. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. @RubenGallego (D-Arizona) supports ending carried interest tax break in the reconciliation bill. “Blocking this bill that will reduce inflation and make investments in reducing climate change to protect a loophole for the ultra wealthy would not be prudent,” he tells me. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Schumer-Manchin deal includes a 3-year extension of ACA funding, expiring in 2025 (the earlier plan was 2 years, ending in 2024). This prevents millions of Americans on ACA from getting premium hike notices right before the 2024 election, which would have been bad for Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

But again, most of the Manchin-Schumer deal tracks with provisions (like the 15% corporate minimum tax) in White House’s 10/2021 framework, which Sinema has endorsed. Big exception: carried interest. https://t.co/lc5nj9bhIW — PolitiTweet.org

👇 Manchin & Sinema have never seen eye-to-eye on reconciliation. Sinema is less willing on taxes and drug pricing, more willing on climate and family safety net; Manchin is less willing on climate and family safety net, more willing on taxes and drug pricing. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Manchin says it's "ridiculous" any corporation pays less than 15% tax. "They're paying for the ability to be in this country with a defense that we have, protections we have, and opportunities—and they don't want to participate? I want them to come forward. Tell me who you are." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Joe Manchin touts the new reconciliation bill: "On the carried interest—for the wealthiest one-tenth of 1% of Americans to take advantage of a tax break for them, that they have no risk at all and they get to take the lowest tax rate? So we got rid of that." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Joe Manchin takes ownership of the new reconciliation package. "This is our bill." He says the spending level has dropped from $6 trillion (progressive ideal) to $3.5 trillion (Build Back Better) to about $400 billion (Schumer-Manchin). — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Manchin is now doing what he has been reluctant to do for nearly a year: emphatically arguing that the Democrats-only reconciliation bill is anti-inflationary. This was always the endgame, if one existed. Also says it's good for WV. "This is a great opportunity for our state." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

On WV radio Manchin says he welcomes attacks on him for backing a 15% corporate minimum tax. "I'm anxious to get hit hard on that." "Why is anybody or any corporate upset by not paying 15? So yes, I'm anxious to find out who they are. Come forward." "It can't be inflationary." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Joe Manchin, on WV MetroNews radio, says Republicans should support the reconciliation bill because it includes permitting reform, which they've always wanted. He tells them not to oppose it just because it might look favorable on Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org
