NEW: McConnell unloads on Trump “I think the former president’s political clout has diminished.” Vows not to bow to Trump picks in ‘24. He blames DJT for tarnishing GOP’s image w/ voters as “nasty” & “chaos.” I talked to @LeaderMcConnell, Part II: https://t.co/vjsEsFKUlD — PolitiTweet.org

A key to understanding McConnell is to look at what he blocks. Self-styled “grim reaper” nurtured Sinema/Manchin’s support for the filibuster over 2 years. Their stance scuttled a host of progressive bills, incl minimum wage hike, Dream Act, voting rights. https://t.co/QjZ5fX9G4R — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell flashed a light grin when I asked him about his disputes with Kevin McCarthy and how they’ll work together over the next two years. “I have a really good relationship with McCarthy, but he’s got a difficult hand to play,” he said. https://t.co/QjZ5fXrgWp — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell dishes on how he sought to protect the filibuster from Day 1 of Dem trifecta. "I actually slow-walked the organization of the Senate in the beginning, until we had public statements from both Sinema and Manchin indicating they wouldn’t do that." https://t.co/QjZ5fX9G4R — PolitiTweet.org

47-50, Senate rejects the Mike Lee amendment on Title 42, which Democrats feared was a poison pill that would have scuttled the overall bill if it was adopted. Omnibus is still on track to pass. — PolitiTweet.org

@LPDonovan ‘failure theater’ is a term of art — PolitiTweet.org

The expected endgame here is the Lee amendment fails because Democrats who support Title 42 can vote for the Sinema amendment instead — which is also likely to fail. In that scenario the coalition to pass the overall omnibus stays in tact, including in the House. — PolitiTweet.org

The deal grants a vote on Mike Lee’s amendment to cut off funding for DHS Sec unless Title 42 stays in place (at a 51-vote threshold). There’s a side-by-side Sinema/Tester amendment that approves more money for border enforcement, immig courts, ICE and more (this needs 60). — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate has reached a deal to vote quickly on the $1.7 trillion funding bill. There’ll be 17 amendment votes and then final passage, all in succession. Voting will begin soon. — PolitiTweet.org

A late night in the Senate, and an early start. Schumer says he hopes to lock in agreement for votes this morning and finish passage of the omnibus today. “We are getting ever closer to reaching an agreement but we are still not there,” he says. — PolitiTweet.org

Title 42 has been a kill switch because it divides a Democratic coalition that's been essential to 218 + 60 votes to pass big bills under the current narrow majorities, with the House GOP all but extracting itself from major bipartisan pursuits. — PolitiTweet.org
