House Democrats add paid family leave back to proposed $1.75T social safety net bill Manchin (the reason they took it out) is not sold. "That's a challenge. Very much of a challenge. And they know how I feel about that." w/ @Teaganne_Finn @alivitali: https://t.co/weC0sqTnZ9 — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: An electoral thumping boosts Democrats' urgency to pass Biden's agenda Coons: "We have been circling the landing for a long time. Now it's time to stick the landing" Left/centrists differ on what went wrong But they agree: can't just run on Trump https://t.co/cgfdkkQbky — PolitiTweet.org

It’s impossible to know if passing BIF/BBB would’ve helped McAuliffe but this, in theory, would be the connection: inaction on popular bills hurts Biden’s approval, which in turn hurts Dem candidates — PolitiTweet.org

The four weeks paid leave policy would need approval from 50 senators to survive the final package — Joe Manchin remains a question mark. — PolitiTweet.org

CHANGE OF PLAN: Pelosi tells Democrats she has asked Ways & Means Committee to re-add paid family and medical leave to the Build Back Better bill. Chairman Richard Neal says the House will do that. This is expected to be four weeks, per sources. — PolitiTweet.org

there was an Obama-era conventional wisdom that Republicans had pretty much maxed out their vote and that non-voters were progressives/Democrats who couldn't be bothered turns out it's a bit more complicated! — PolitiTweet.org

After tonight, one of the biggest political questions is whether those suburban voters who went red to blue in the Trump era are part of a long-term realignment — or if they were simply on rental for Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

Digging a little deeper on this 👀 WHITE WOMEN COLLEGE GRADS VA 2020: 58% Biden, 41% Trump VA 2021: 62% McAuliffe, 38% Youngkin WHITE WOMEN NON-COLLEGE VA 2020: 56% Trump, 44% Biden VA 2021: 75% Youngkin, 25% McAuliffe (via @NBCNews Exit Polls) — PolitiTweet.org

Every race is different, every state is unique, candidates matter, etc. But if a -14 margin with white women translates nationwide, Dems are in for a world of pain. They won the trifecta by breaking even (+2 in 2018) or limiting the damage (-7 in 2020) with this group. — PolitiTweet.org

The story of tonight? McAuliffe is running a bit ahead of Biden among non-white voters in Virginia. He's behind a few with white men. But he's getting clobbered by white women. — PolitiTweet.org
