The anti-filibuster coalition Fix Our Senate, which has been strategizing against the 60-vote rule since before the 2020 election, looks for the upside. "Despite this setback, it has never been clearer that the filibuster is a dead rule walking," says spokesman @elizupnick. https://t.co/tAakPMDgVm — PolitiTweet.org

New —> One year in, Biden confronts the limits of his power Democrats’ euphoria from winning the trifecta fades amid “dispiriting” realities: thin margins, GOP opposition, filibuster preservation & a few key Dem defections. BIDEN: “Our work's not done.” https://t.co/pxcMcdpBMR — PolitiTweet.org

Sinema’s colleague Mark Kelly voted for the rules change. “Protecting the vote-by-mail system used by a majority of Arizonans and getting dark money out of our elections is too important to let fall victim to Washington dysfunction,” he said. https://t.co/BIHnvCeurg — PolitiTweet.org

One way to think about this: When McConnell has perceived a plausible threat to the filibuster, he has cut a deal with Democrats to ease pressure (infrastructure, co-written by Manchin/Sinema, which they were deeply invested in; debt limit). He saw no threat on voting rights. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
One thing's pretty clear: Mitch McConnell had a better read on Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema through this filibuster debate than did Democratic leaders and progressive advocates who thought they could flip those two by cornering them on voting legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

52-48, Senate votes to preserve the filibuster and rejects Democrats' effort to impose a "talking filibuster." It's done. Rules change fails. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Manchin votes against triggering the nuclear option to change the filibuster, as expected. This vote will fail and the current Senate rules will remain. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Manchin votes NO on triggering the nuclear option to change the filibuster, as expected. This vote will fail and the current Senate rules will remain. — PolitiTweet.org

Technical point: This vote is on whether to sustain the chair’s ruling on existing rules. So senators voting YES are saying keep these rules; senators voting NO are saying change them. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate is voting NOW on whether to change the rules to impose a "talking filibuster" for this package of voting and election measures. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) says the Democrats' proposed talking filibuster mirrors an earlier Senate rule prior to a change in the 1970s: "Strom Thurmond would've loved this filibuster. He wouldn't have to stand here for 24 hours." He wants "a return to the old filibuster." — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate procedural vote on the voting/elections package is 49-51. 50-50 along party lines, @SenSchumer switched to no for procedural reasons. All Republicans unite to sustain the filibuster. The vote falls short of the 60 needed. Next up: A vote on changing Senate rules. — PolitiTweet.org
