I asked McConnell if he supports the bipartisan Senate negotiations on infrastructure after he backed Capito’s unsuccessful effort with Biden “I think you could best say I’m in listening mode” — PolitiTweet.org

One big difference between the G20 group's infrastructure negotiations and the Capito-Biden talks is that Capito overtly had the endorsement of McConnell. Not totally clear if G20 Rs have it — PolitiTweet.org

During our interview, Sen. Daines stepped in front of Sen. Manchin to shield him from questions and act as his “body man” “Joe Manchin is saving our country. Joe is trying to get bipartisanship,” Daines said. Manchin replied: “I need you to help me with that.” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Of course Manchin isn’t always easy to understand “Biden’s very perplexed by Manchin. He doesn’t know how, or what he thinks. Or what he really wants,” said a lawmaker who has spoken with Biden recently. “That makes it hard for the president to ‘get him,’ so to speak.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Dems say when Biden needs Manchin — as he did on covid $ — he can get him. But the moment isn’t right yet Cardin: “He knows that he will have impact on Sen. Manchin. It would not be effective at this particular moment. But I think he’s waiting for that opportunity.” — PolitiTweet.org

“The president respects the institution so much because he was here and knows it better than everyone else. He does not get involved,” Manchin. said in interview “I already know where he is. I know the challenges he has, and I know basically the pressure he’s receiving.” — PolitiTweet.org

The Joemance Civil rights groups can't move him and neither can his colleagues. If anyone can sway Joe Manchin, it might be Joe Biden. But Manchin said Biden isn’t leaning on him yet for anything even as Dem agenda in balance ⁦@lbarronlopez⁩ https://t.co/Hdqpo6rzbG — PolitiTweet.org

Capito blames Biden for talks falling apart “While I appreciate President Biden’s willingness to devote so much time and effort to these negotiations, he ultimately chose not to accept the very robust and targeted infrastructure package, and instead, end our discussions" — PolitiTweet.org

@igorbobic Chuck Schumer polished off his soda and stared glumly at the bill before him. Sure, it was a massive policy win. But the majority leader's beloved title lay in tatters, replaced by a boring acronym. -- By Igor Bobic — PolitiTweet.org

"It may well be that part of the bill that will pass will be bipartisan and part of it might be reconciliation, but we’re not going to sacrifice the bigness and boldness in this bill. We will just pursue two paths and at some point they will join” — PolitiTweet.org

"It is no longer called the Endless Frontiers Act. Now, I loved that name but some people thought it had to do with covered wagons or something. So we changed it to USICA," Schumer says — PolitiTweet.org
