Leahy has served in the Senate for 46 years. He’s the fifth longest-serving senator of all time (per Senate records) and longest incumbent. He’s President pro tempore and chair of Appropriations Committee. Previously chaired Judiciary & Ag. He’s also appeared in Batman movies. — PolitiTweet.org

@BenjySarlin pretty much! the Dems quoted think it has to be a mix of popularism and what (I believe?) @ddayen has called deliverism — PolitiTweet.org

Between the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, the $1.2 trillion for infrastructure and the $1.75 trillion safety net and climate bill (if it passes), that would be a nearly $5 trillion economic agenda — all signed in one year. Highly consequential. https://t.co/o2rpRG26aQ — PolitiTweet.org

@charles_gaba yes that’s exactly the point. hence Dems are betting on them politically — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

@charles_gaba i would read the word “else” again, Charles. that says nothing about the content or magnitude of *these* bills which are hugely consequential (and I regularly describe them as such) — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

@charles_gaba weird interpretation. I’ve never said or implied these are “minor” — the point is these are essential to Ds’ message because they’re unlikely to get their voting/immig/gun priorities thru — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are skeptical. "Signature legislative accomplishments are never any more popular than the president who signs it," says @HolmesJosh. https://t.co/o2rpRG26aQ — PolitiTweet.org

New: @JoeBiden's popularity has taken a hit, but his two big economic bills remain popular. Democrats are banking on that to save them in 2022. They don't have much else to work with policy-wise. But they say they need his megaphone to sell them first. https://t.co/o2rpRG26aQ — PolitiTweet.org

Per WaPo-ABC poll, Americans • say 63-32% they support Biden’s $1T infrastructure bill • say 58-37% they support Biden’s ~$2T climate and economic policy bill • say 59-38% they’re concerned about Biden doing “too much to increase the size and role of government” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — PolitiTweet.org

Washington Post-ABC poll Biden job approval: 41% 👍, 53% 👎 Infrastructure bill: 63% 👍, 32% 👎 ~$2 trillion bill: 58% 👍, 37% 👎 Generic ballot: GOP 51%, DEM 41% https://t.co/IFeAoML1vC — PolitiTweet.org

@NNe_SR @RachelBrookesTV gotcha! so basically Hamilton in bigger trouble here… already with a 5 place grid drop in the best-case scenario — PolitiTweet.org

Dozens of House Democrats introduced a censure resolution today going after @RepGosar over violent imagery he posted toward @AOC and @POTUS. Resolution knocks GOP leadership for staying silent and invokes Jan. 6. Unclear what the vote timeline is. Talking with @HallieJackson: https://t.co/5ejKSgjaz3 — PolitiTweet.org
