This is something: Joe Manchin cuts an ad endorsing David McKinley in WV's HOUSE GOP primary & defending him against rival Alex Mooney's claims that he supports BBB. "To suggest David McKinley supported Build Back Better is an outright lie," Manchin says. https://t.co/6YqROLstik — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden, at the WHCD, says he’s not worried about the midterms. “We may have more partisan gridlock. But I’m confident we can work it out in my remaining six years in the presidency.” https://t.co/HgQOFO3ESK — PolitiTweet.org

OPTION 1: Link Covid & Ukraine money in one bill. Senate Rs will block Covid over Title 42 amdt. OPTION 2: Give in on Title 42. That could pass Senate but it’d hit a wall in House, per sources. OPTION 3: Delink, pass Ukraine $. Leaves Covid in the lurch. https://t.co/s3zxyDsNiD — PolitiTweet.org

New: Biden’s push for $33 billion in Ukraine aid and his $10 billion Covid relief package aren’t passing Congress in a hurry. Those two items plus the Title 42 immigration dispute are tangled up in a complicated web. w/ @frankthorp @JulieNBCNews 👇 https://t.co/s3zxyDtl8b — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. @LisaMurkowski is not inclined to link Covid relief funds to Ukraine aid. She wants the latter to move alone, and soon. "We need to have a priority on getting the Ukraine assistance out," she tells me. "So things that slow things down — let's not slow things down." — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: In a private meeting, Biden gave CHC members the impression he's leaning toward student debt forgiveness. A source familiar w/ Biden admin's thinking says NO DECISION is made and that any loan cancellation would be linked to income, a la ARP checks. https://t.co/eBBTnjQlHB — PolitiTweet.org
