The latest offer from the White House is a one-time payment of $600 for some Americans and a lump of coal for the unemployed. https://t.co/rgaVCNuisb — PolitiTweet.org

NDAA passes 335-78, well over the two-thirds majority needed to override a potential Trump veto. — PolitiTweet.org

In not-very-inspiring appropriations news, the ranking Republican on House Approps, Kay Granger, says “it’s anybody’s guess” whether they’ll have an omnibus vote next week or whether it’ll be a longer term CR. — PolitiTweet.org

Less than 60 members have voted on NDAA, but the tally is currently 48-8. I’d bet on this sucker being veto proof. — PolitiTweet.org

These days, about 90% of the 35-45 members who didn’t vote are Republicans. So if we assume, generously, that 400 members vote, and of the remaining 30 that don’t — 6 vacancies — 25 are Republicans, the GOP needs, like, 80% of its conference to block NDAA. Or 70% with 20 Dems. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@EASmallwood Yes, but it’ll mostly be Republicans because of proxy voting. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
One of the big problems for Republicans trying to do Trump’s bidding and vote down the NDAA is that they haven’t embraced proxy voting like their Democratic counterparts. So the reality is you probably need a lot more than half of Republicans to vote against The Troops™. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Doing a little veto override math in the House gallery. If there are only 400 members voting on the NDAA, you need 264 votes to override a veto/pass on suspension. So you need 137 to vote no. Even with half of the GOP conference voting no, you’d still need 39 Dems to vote no. — PolitiTweet.org

@nbeaudrot The Democratic idea would be to do state and local funding in a second package, probably in March, after Republican governors beg their congressional delegations for money. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
We’re at the stage of coronavirus negotiations where reporters could prob figure out the deal faster. Republicans drop the liability shield, and Dems drop state and local funding and put the money toward stimulus checks. Slap Trump’s name on the checks and put it on the floor. — PolitiTweet.org

@EricMGarcia @brianros1 Obviously a close election, so many things could’ve tipped the balance, but I’m not sure there were that many swing voters making their minds up based on another deal that wouldn’t have really taken effect until after the election anyway. — PolitiTweet.org
