Damn, Psaki bomb: "Senator Manchin’s comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances." — PolitiTweet.org

2018 Florida Senate race also falls into this category. Maine 2020 was not actually close in the end so it's a little harder to make the argument that Gideon ever had a chance despite what the polls kept showing. — PolitiTweet.org

One Senate seat just means so much. If Kelly Ayotte had won in 2016, ACA would have been repealed in 2017. If Cal Cunningham had won in 2020, BBB would be on its way back to the House. — PolitiTweet.org

@JonLemire White House grew increasingly frustrated with Manchin this week. But it goes both ways: Manchin was irked by Biden's statement as well and he believes no one has been listening to him all long about his fundamental concern for the bill's structure — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

New: Dems pissed at how Manchin relayed news to them via staff, instead of personally, about opposing BBB this morning. "Manchin didn't have the courage to call the White House or Democratic leadership himself ahead of time,” says one https://t.co/5sCw7cJ0qT @JonLemire — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin is killing the House-passed version of the BBB, for sure. As to whether it's all over, it's unclear at this point. But after vaguely Manchinning on his ultimate intentions for months, today he was crystal clear "this is a no" https://t.co/5sCw7cJ0qT — PolitiTweet.org

“We’ve been dealing with Mr. Manchin for month after month after month,” Sanders said on CNN’s State of the Union. “Let him vote no in front of the whole world.” — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie on CNN on Manchin: "He's going to have a lot of explaining to do for the people of West Virginia" — PolitiTweet.org

Less of a surprise here, Manchin says he's trying to make the Senate work better but doesn't sound at all willing to scrap the 60-vote threshold — PolitiTweet.org

!!!!!!!!!!!! Manchin says he's done with BBB and it's over "I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation" "I can't get there" — PolitiTweet.org

The vote on Nord Stream will be in January at a 60-vote threshold During the last vote this morning, 33 senators were absent — PolitiTweet.org

After 23 roll call votes Friday and Saturday and cutting a big deal on ambassadors and Nord Stream 2 vote, the Senate adjourned for the year at 4 a.m. Back on Jan. 3 — PolitiTweet.org

Warren said of expanded CTC: “I thought we had resolved that.” “I thought we were down to about four areas where there were still significant open issues. But until the deal has landed, anyone can open up anything" Murphy: “I legitimately don’t know what the path forward is.” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Dems don't know if the bill needs to be completely revamped to win Manchin’s support. They don’t know when it’s going to come to the Senate floor for a vote. They don’t know how close Biden is to a deal with Manchin. They don't know how to keep the child tax credit from expiring — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Build Back Better is staggering into the New Year, with no clear prognosis for how to get it through the Senate. I asked Manchin about Biden's statement last night: “The president put out a statement. It’s his statement, not mine.” https://t.co/8xkuE01W56 — PolitiTweet.org

Senate just advanced Linda Lopez to be district judge, 47-30. 23 senators missed that one — PolitiTweet.org

So many senators, mostly GOP, have left Washington for the holidays. Cruz's Nord Stream vote probably wouldn't have a ton of impact if it were held today — PolitiTweet.org

Despite rumors that he's coming around on Senate rules changes to pass elections, Manchin has not agreed to anything, I'm told — PolitiTweet.org
