.@JoeBiden, asked about this today: "Mitch has been very clear. He's gonna do anything to prevent Biden from being a success... I actually like Mitch McConnell. But he has one straightforward objective: Make sure that there's nothing I do that makes me look good." — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski will vote NO on breaking a filibuster to advance the voting legislation today, per her office. She supports the John Lewis bill but not the Freedom To Vote Act; they've been bundled into one package here. (She's the only R who backs either bill.) — PolitiTweet.org

@AdamGreen I remember that and (1) there was confusion even on the hill re: what it means and (2) I don’t think it said multiple budget resolutions; said multiple recon bills in one, with limitations, if res is revised — PolitiTweet.org

"I have not — and will never — waver on this." Manchin contends that slashing the 60-vote rule would pour "fuel on the fire of political whiplash and dysfunction that is tearing our nation apart." — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Manchin says he's proud to cosponsor the Freedom To Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, but he — again — emphasizes his opposition to weakening the current 60-vote threshold. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden on Build Back Better: "It's clear to me that we're going to have to, probably, break it up." Reality check —> Those policies can only pass Senate via reconciliation (50 vote threshold), which is available once per fiscal year. Otherwise they'd require 60 votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin laments the state of the Senate today: "I don't know what happened to the good old days. But I can tell you they're not here now." — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden says he was surprised by GOP opposition: "I did not anticipate that there'd be such a stalwart effort to make sure that the most important thing was that Pres Biden doesn't get anything done." "What are Republicans for. What're they for? Name me one thing they're for." — PolitiTweet.org

Biden on his first year and various stalled goals, including BBB and voting rights legislation: "I didn't over-promise. I have probably outperformed what anybody thought would happen." — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Biden touts BBB, which is on ice due to Manchin's resistance to the House-passed version. "My Build Back Better plan will address the biggest costs working families face every day." He says it'll cut child care costs, prescription drugs, ease long-term inflationary pressures. — PolitiTweet.org
