In this statement, Trump also claims that "a couple Republican Senators may get on board" with Build Back Better. We've seen no evidence of that and asked his spokesperson who/what he's talking about. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked @JohnCornyn about this a moment ago and he clarified that the GOP WILL support a candidate to defeat @SenatorSinema in 2024. “Oh yeah,” he says. “Inevitably.” He adds: “I do appreciate Sen. Sinema working constructively in a bipartisan way to get some things done.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dems were relieved when Larry Summers, a Biden critic at times, said BBB (unlike ARP) isn’t an inflation danger. Republicans say its climate policies could raise fossil fuel energy costs. Other economists doubt it’ll have any near-term inflation impact. https://t.co/SeHbqzkjo3 — PolitiTweet.org

Huh. Is @JohnCornyn suggesting the GOP won’t support a Senate candidate against @SenatorSinema in 2024? https://t.co/OSfKgm8z8K https://t.co/YGp4ZnWTL0 — PolitiTweet.org

Sinema talked to Politico. She defended her opposition to higher tax rates on corporations and upper earners, saying she “will not support tax policies that have a negative impact on our economic climate.” Didn’t reveal much else on her BBB policy views. https://t.co/OSfKgm8z8K — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, @mehdirhasan asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger three times whether he’d vote for Donald Trump to be president in 2024 if he’s the Republican nominee. Raffensperger didn’t say either way. “That's so far in the future, haven’t even thought about that.” — PolitiTweet.org

There’s executive privilege for presidents seeking unfiltered/candid counsel from advisers when making tough decisions. Then there’s executive privilege asserted by a former president for a former adviser who left the White House 3+ years prior to the period under investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting moment today from Ways & Means Chair @RepRichardNeal on BBB prescription drug policy being scaled back to get the votes: “I think we missed an opportunity on drug pricing,” he says. Meaning what? “I think that the industry was prepared. I wish Congress had been.” — PolitiTweet.org

It's a tax cut that predominantly benefits the wealthy. Politically beneficial in some high-tax regions where the pain of the SALT cap is felt more widely, but overall it's an awkward issue for Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

.@LisaMurkowski, on Trump's attacks against pro-infrastructure Republicans, tells me there has been an "unfortunate backlash" driven by politics. "And so to deny good policy just because you don't want to give the occupant of the White House a win penalizes the whole country." — PolitiTweet.org
