Vulnerable Dems and some moderates signaling they may back an amendment going after Title 42, a reason why Schumer doesn’t favor a vote. Could scuttle the Covid relief bill. Meantime, House GOP planning new moves - and one floats impeachment for Mayorkas https://t.co/vvsa6WBMv4 — PolitiTweet.org

A sign of a logjam coming over the $10B Covid relief bill. GOP (and some Dems) want amendment vote to prevent Biden from lifting Title 42 immigration policy. Schumer pushes back and says bill “shouldn’t be held hostage” to “extraneous” issues. They’ll need a deal to have a vote — PolitiTweet.org
