Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT on Biden’s call for further action on gun violence: “We can do more. We just need more votes. If folks are okay with what happened in Uvalde and Highland Park, they should put Republicans in charge of the Senate.” — PolitiTweet.org

To add to this: Some Democratic strategists also believe a big climate package could help with young voters. And they want to extend ACA funding, but that's less a net benefit than avoiding a cliff. Broad agreement that drug pricing is the big one, politically, in reconciliation. — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin says the drug pricing deal he cut with Schumer "helps every state, not just my state." "That's going be a tremendous help," he said yesterday. "Drug pricing is the most — that's the one thing that everyone seems to agree on. Let Medicare negotiate, reduce the prices." — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Manchin on reconciliation: "We know what we can pass is basically the drug pricing — on Medicare. We know that one. Is there any more we can do? I don't know. But I'm very, very cautious." He reiterates that 50 cents out of every $1 raised must go to deficit reduction. — PolitiTweet.org

Rorschach test. Reconciliation critics see spending line as a negative sign. Proponents say bill will be anti-inflationary with deficit reduction. Notably, Manchin has been sounding inflation alarms for a year so there 0% chance he negotiates a bill he believes makes it worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin statement: “it is time for us to work together to get unnecessary spending under control, produce more energy at home and take more active and serious steps to address this record inflation that now poses a clear and present danger to our economy.” https://t.co/X1V4AYhA8J — PolitiTweet.org
