Standard caveat: This isn't the president's call. It takes 50 votes in the Senate to change the filibuster, which in this case means every Democratic senator. There have been two vocal supporters of the 60-vote rule: Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin. This'd require their votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Reminiscent of the Democrats’ position through parts of the Bush era when a GOP-run government was racking up debt. Most recently in ‘06. Key difference: Dems didn’t filibuster and allowed it on a majority vote. — PolitiTweet.org

MANCHIN, asked by @lindsaywise if he's open to filibuster carve-out for debt limit: "We're not going to default." Asked again re: temporary filibuster change: "I'm not ruling things out. I just know that there's enough people here that will not let this country fall to default." — PolitiTweet.org

A Republican aide told me a few weeks ago to watch Romney as a bellwether for possible shifts on debt limit. The reason: few if any senators in the caucus will feel the need to be more duty-bound here than Mitt Romney. — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell cracks a smile when asked by @lindsaywise if he worries his position could give fuel to Democrats to change filibuster rules. "Look. The debt ceiling needs to be addressed. The only question is who should address it." He says it should be Dems only via reconciliation. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
McConnell calls reconciliation "the easiest way" to tackle the debt limit. @GarrettHaake asks why that's easier than GOP dropping its filibuster. "That would require getting consent from every single Republican to lower the threshold to 51. I can't imagine that would happen." — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Schumer on whether he'd rule out changing filibuster if debt limit blockade persists: "Look, the best way to get this done is just for Republicans to get out of the way. None of them have to vote for debt ceiling. Let the 50 Democrats do it. That's the best way to get it done." — PolitiTweet.org

.@TedCruz makes a prediction: "The end result of this has been obvious for weeks, if not months, which is: Schumer will completely surrender. He will bring up reconciliation and raise the debt ceiling using Democrat votes. There's not going to be a default." — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
.@TedCruz tells me he's not dropping his demand for 60-vote hurdle on debt limit as default nears. "Every Democrat knows the answer to that." If Dems use reconciliation, will Cruz consent to no amendments to speed it up? "No." But says there may not be "terribly huge number." — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says the US is “getting dangerously close” to default. The Senate votes tomorrow to advance the House-approved debt limit extension. It needs 60 votes to break a Republican filibuster (and does not have that many votes). — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
.@SenSchumer meets with Senate Democrats and again rejects the reconciliation option to tackle the debt limit. “We do not have the luxury of using a drawn out, convoluted and risky process.” He says Dems can prevent default tomorrow if Republicans “just get out of the damn way.” https://t.co/FgUhwX6rMR — PolitiTweet.org
