"He's being vague about it, but that's alright. I think he is acknowledging the fact that the filibuster has become institutionalized by Sen. McConnell. We now accept the premise that everything needs 60 votes," Senate Majority Whip Durbin says in interview — PolitiTweet.org

Did Biden endorse barring 60-vote req? “He didn’t say that and as a student and creature of the Senate he certainly knows how to choose his words carefully on this subject. But I think he’s acknowledging the obvious: the filibuster has really shackled the Senate” - Sen. Durbin — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, depending on the floor posture, a senator can already hold the floor and prevent the majority leader from taking action until they the senator is done talking. (See: Stand with Rand filibuster) — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin had talked about making a filibuster more painful, causing a big stir. But when it came down to it he said the Senate would still need to put up 60 votes. Regardless, advocates of reform will be excited that Biden is now talking about this. Big shift — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Biden says he wants filibuster reform, which is significant. But the details matter on this and he doesn’t say explicitly, nor was he asked in this clip, if he wants to completely get rid of 60-vote requirement at end of talking filibuster. https://t.co/7FA2H6yUuk — PolitiTweet.org

@caitlinzemma Democrats scoff at the GOP reinvention after running up red ink under Trump. But they acknowledge it's an issue “Republicans clearly get religion on deficits and debt when they’re in the minority. They don’t give a crap about it when they’re running the place,” says Murphy — PolitiTweet.org

@caitlinzemma Toughest fight ahead is debt limit. Several GOP senators, including NRSC Chair Scott, say they will oppose a clean debt ceiling increase and want cuts "Now is the time,” said Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.). “Will I have the entire conference behind me? I don’t know.” — PolitiTweet.org

It's cool to be a debt hawk in the GOP again, and Republicans have plenty of leverage points after being bypassed on $1.9T stimulus bill: Debt limit, spending bill. Sans filibuster reform, need 10 Republicans https://t.co/FxxZUAxbN6 Story w @caitlinzemma on tough fights ahead — PolitiTweet.org

2014: Rockefeller accused the GOP of opposing Obama and the Affordable Care Act because he’s the “wrong color,” eliciting an emotional reaction from Johnson that the Democratic senator “would basically imply that I’m a racist.” https://t.co/V6zBhoAGqv — PolitiTweet.org
