Schumer says Dem Caucus meeting with Biden will focus on agenda for this Congress. Says Dems want to keep "working in a bipartisan way" on legislation but that implementation of last two year's agenda (IRA/infra/etc.) is is major priority — PolitiTweet.org

NRSC announces Sen. Graham will lead fundraising efforts for eventual GOP nominees in West Virginia, Ohio and Montana. Dem candidates routinely outraise Rs, as Graham experienced in 2020 against Harrison “We will not be able to take back the Senate if our candidates get swamped” — PolitiTweet.org

“Swamp enforcer” is a dope nickname thank you — PolitiTweet.org

For those curious: Still not clear if Vance voted for or against McConnell, who wanted his voted in the leadership election “The Senate leadership race is over. Mitch McConnell won,” Vance said. “It makes a lot more sense to look forward as a caucus than backwards.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ukraine may be months away; East Palestine response is now. He'll appear at EPW hearing next week, Wants Norfolk Southern CEO to testify and wants company to pay for aid "When people become destitute through no fault of their own, there should be some social safety net" — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

And the internal tension isn't going away, particularly on Ukraine. Vance: "very assertive in my view that it’s at best a waste of money.” Graham: “I like J.D. It may be good politics to go soft on Putin and hard on China. It’s terrible national security policy" — PolitiTweet.org

How hard will Vance go after Brown in 2024 Ohio race? Brown needs some of his voters. Vance might get involved in GOP primary and might occasionally hit Brown, though he'd prefer to make positive case for an R “I certainly would prefer there to be a Republican in his seat" — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

“I certainly came in expecting the political environment to be so partisan, that it would be harder to get anything done,” Vance said. “In reality, so long as you’re not being a total jerk about it, I think it’s possible to do things.” Brown: “He’s been nothing but cooperative" — PolitiTweet.org

Vance is not going to be a bipartisan Gang member, and shuns “bipartisanship for its own sake," adding that "the Iraq war was bipartisan, and it was a fucking disaster" But he's winning plaudits from Fetterman, Brown and Rs on East Palestine even as he keeps his sharp edge — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

New: In interview, J.D. Vance explains how he made Dem friends on rail safety, + how he's navigating Senate “One of the things I’ve learned here is that it’s very easy to disagree with people so long as you’re not an asshole, and still get things done" https://t.co/XT37bcpvgs — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Sherrod Brown says he will vote against ESG disapproval resolution this afternoon. Tester and Manchin will vote for it — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Provided Biden vetos them, these disapproval votes amount to a free opportunity to break w administration for vulnerable Democrats in both chambers. Will affect scorecards, etc., without becoming law. ESG rule vote at 4 p.m. today — PolitiTweet.org
