McConnell says his debt ceiling deal with Schumer is “good for the country” and “good for Republicans.” He also confirms he and Schumer hatched this idea in their private talks — PolitiTweet.org

The House of course is another matter. Would take a massive Democratic rebellion to get it to Biden’s desk, very unlikely. And Biden could still veto it — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer savages GOP attempted rollback of vaccine mandates. Vote likely tomorrow. “Ridiculous and makes no sense. Democrats believe it is the wrong way to go” Not all Democrats, though. Manchin supports it and that will be enough to pass it — PolitiTweet.org

Cornyn: “To have Democrats raise the debt ceiling and be held accountable for racking up the debt is my goal. And this helps us accomplish it.” @heatherscope and I are hearing the debt number will be $1.5T-$2T when the debt limit bill comes — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of new details on this stunningly quick development. Remember, McConnell made forcing Dems to use reconciliation central to his strategy in July https://t.co/Rv4zvTV7aC — PolitiTweet.org

Damn that was fast. Looks like Senate Republicans hopping on board with McConnell’s plan to allow Dems to raise debt ceiling. Capito, Blunt, Thune, Wicker all warm on it (will need 10 Republicans to set the process up) — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell pitches skeptical GOP on new strategy to raise debt limit “There's no reason for us to try and facilitate anything for them again,” said Sen. Mike Rounds. "I can be pretty pragmatic. But this one?” ⁦@heatherscope⁩ https://t.co/Rv4zvTV7aC — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Sen. Cramer says he wants Dems to raise debt ceiling through reconciliation, not the separate fast-track approach being discussed "Would I help facilitate an expedited process for it? Sure," he says of reconciliation. “I’m a little less enthused about" the other option — PolitiTweet.org

Asked McConnell if he supports creating a fast-track for Senate Democrats to raise the debt limit. No answer (he sometimes/often doesn’t answer off-the-cuff qs but sometimes does. He has a press conference later today) — PolitiTweet.org

Pennsylvania is maybe the most important Democratic Senate primary given the ideological contrasts between the candidates. Lamb running as Manchin mod, Fetterman running as anti-Manchin. Best pick-up opportunity for Ds next year https://t.co/jKlHI1KQhV @hollyotterbein — PolitiTweet.org

Given all that, a few Dems we talked to don’t want to roll the dice with Manchin Smith wants “acommitment amongst all 50 of us that we’re all going to stick together.” “What happens if it goes down? We can walk around and say we tried? That doesn’t really sell,” Tester says — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Some in the party are impatient and say nothing to be gained by waiting. Dems want to move onto selling their accomplishments there’s worry that this will slip to January. One Dem said there’s a zero percent chance reconciliation is finished this month. Schumer says by XMas — PolitiTweet.org

Hirono: “put it to a vote and let people know where people stand.” Manchin says he’s heard it all before and he has no timetable “We heard that it had to pass as soon as we came back from the August break and then we had to do it before the president went over[seas],” — PolitiTweet.org

Dems weigh forcing Manchin's hand on BBB bill. Some Dems want to bring the bill to the floor with or without Manchin’s commitment Durbin: “All this speculation notwithstanding, people have to face the reality of yes or no” ⁦@marianne_levine⁩ https://t.co/Q6Wy6rbSqF — PolitiTweet.org

Senate GOP rejects debt limit fix on must-pass defense bill “That sets a bad precedent,” Ernst said. “It might be able to pass, but it's something we all need to talk about, and I just don't think we should be operating like this.” @marianne_levine https://t.co/2CxCszVmzQ — PolitiTweet.org
