This is why no Democrat is coming for Joe Manchin in a Senate primary (if he even runs again). He massively outperforms the generic D and they have no viable alternative in West Virginia. Sinema is different: She has roughly matched the generic D performance in Arizona of late. — PolitiTweet.org

Compared to Biden's 2020 vote share in their states... —Sinema did 0.6 points better in 2018 —Manchin did 19.9 points better in 2018 — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate debate on the Freedom To Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act begins Tuesday, using a "message" from the House that allows it with 51. The timing of a rules change vote is not set in stone but Schumer indicated last night it'll still happen. — PolitiTweet.org

New: The Senate is delaying a (doomed) vote to change filibuster rules to pass voting rights legislation. It's pushed to Tuesday after a Dem senator got Covid. Sinema & Manchin appear immovable. A reminder of the limits of Dem power in this trifecta. https://t.co/jiGhRegWwQ — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego on Kyrsten Sinema: "I've known Senator Sinema since we were both in our mid 20s and starting out in politics here in Arizona. The only consistency about Senator Sinema's roles and positions is inconsistency." — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Gallego says Sinema backed filibuster exception for debt limit when "convenient to Wall Street" but hews to "ancient principles" on voting. He says it pleases her "little DC inner circle" but is "inconsistent" to Arizonans. "It's been 3 1/2 years since people have seen her." — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
.@RubenGallego says on CNN many Arizonans are "very unhappy" that @KyrstenSinema is "blocking voting rights legislation." On challenging her in 2024: "I never say no to the future." Says he'll keep having public meetings, "something that she should try to do once in a while." — PolitiTweet.org

Ah, the wonders of gerrymandering. Trump won ~53% of the vote in Ohio and the question in the House is whether his party will be favored to win 87% of the seats of merely 67%. — PolitiTweet.org

With all due respect, this doesn't require a crystal ball; it's simple math. Piercing the filibuster for voting rights legislation requires 50 votes; all 50 Republicans + 2 Democrats firmly oppose that idea. It will fail. — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Rep. John Katko of New York says he won't seek re-election in 2022. He's the ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee, in line to be chairman if House flips. He voted to impeach Trump, championed the 1/6 bipartisan commission and supported the infrastructure law. https://t.co/3OtOWNASg4 — PolitiTweet.org

And the Senate is adjourned. There won’t be a vote on voting/election legislation before MLK Day. They’ll return on Tuesday and debate the Freedom To Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says the Senate will adjourn and return on TUESDAY to debate voting rights. Recess is postponed. If Republicans filibuster the bills, Schumer says, the chamber will “consider and vote on changing Senate rules” to allow a vote. It will fail. Dems don’t have the votes. — PolitiTweet.org

White House @PressSec on voting rights and whether Biden accepts that Manchin/Sinema can’t be swayed: “We’re gonna keep fighting until the votes are had.” “We’ll leave it to Leader Schumer on what the next steps are and what the process is from here.” https://t.co/wsXiEH13lP — PolitiTweet.org

Periodic reminder that Joe Manchin is the only sitting senator in the chamber who voted against nuking the filibuster when Democrats did in 2013 AND when Republicans did it in 2017. Procedural hypocrisy is in abundance but he has—whatever you think of his stance—been consistent. — PolitiTweet.org
