McConnell to @hughhewitt on giving Manchin the Energy chair (which he currently holds) if he switches to GOP. “That’s something we’d talk to him about. Obviously, he..enjoys being the chair of the committee. It’s important to West Virginia and all of those things we’d discuss.” — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer told caucus, per source: “How can we in good conscience allow for a situation in which the Republican Party can debate and pass voter suppression laws at the state level with only a simple majority vote, but not allow the United States Senate to do the same?” — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Schumer told caucus they plan to have a vote to change the rules to advance bill to rewrite voting laws. If GOP blocks it, he said Senate would vote to change the rules. But Manchin and Sinema are opposed to changing rules along party-lines, so they won’t have the votes to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin told his colleagues he would keep talking, per source, but he made clear he has lots of concerns with current bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

He added: “At this time, it is my intention to make the Senate substitute amendment the current Senate text as published and shared with your offices, unless we are able to reach an agreement on modifications acceptable to the entire caucus ahead of that.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin told the caucus, per another source: “Inflation is a serious issue. These programs will cost more than they are saying. I can’t add to the debt.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Manchin addressed the caucus, I’m told. He said he’s consistent for the past five months, saying inflation is a problem and noting he has been raising geopolitical concerns as well. He said they need tax reform to force the rich to pay more, per a source — PolitiTweet.org
