Manchin’s whole thing was pushing people to go back to work and not incentivize people to stay on unemployment. He ended up getting several weeks shaved off the Carper proposal and means-testing eligibility for UI tax deductions — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin: “The President has made it clear we will have enough vaccines for every American by the end of May and I am confident the economic recovery will follow. We have reached a compromise that enables the economy to rebound quickly while also protecting those receiving” UI — PolitiTweet.org

New agreement that Manchin approved keeps $300 unemployment payments through Sept. 6, per an aide. $10k in UI payments still not taxable but only applies to households making $150k or under — PolitiTweet.org

He's talking to Schumer now, according to eagle-eyed @elwasson — PolitiTweet.org

Metaphor alert: Joe Manchin is now presiding over the Senate — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic Sen. Heinrich said there are “active negotiations” going on among Democrats. Several progressive senators say Portman’s amendment will cause a big problem by ending UI payments in July — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
Republican Sen. Wicker says Manchin is done talking to White House and Schumer and now Democrats are assessing whether the House and White House can accept Portman’s amendment. He says this is the buzz from the cloak room — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Whip Thune says the Portman amendment probably has 50 GOP votes and possibly Manchin “He knows that the Portman amendment saves a lot of money and is better policy. But Democrats in his caucus obviously don’t want to give Republicans a bipartisan win on this” — PolitiTweet.org

@caitlinzemma @marianne_levine Sinema told Manchin earlier he could support both the Carper UI amendment and the Portman one. The Manch-o-Meter is off the charts today — PolitiTweet.org

The order of the votes hasn't been determined either. If Portman's goes first and it succeeds, Dems could rewrite it with Carper amendment. Until then, Democrats would prefer to stay on min wage vote until infinity rather than start working through GOP amendments — PolitiTweet.org

We are officially in WTF territory on the Senate floor. The vote-a-rama has been stalled out for more than three hours. Dems don't yet have 50 for their most important amendment and Rs are trying to bring Manchin on board to Portman's unemployment trims. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cardin says a big concern is whether approval of the Portman amendment, which amounts to a cut in UI, would force renegotiations with House and White House. Suddenly March 14 looks pretty close in that scenario “That’s not a desirable outcome,” he said — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ESCochrane: can confirm, having also been singled out for watching. Sinema seemed to be making the argument that there had already been… — PolitiTweet.org

Filibuster or not, Senate Democrats nowhere near the votes on raising the wage to $15 an hour. https://t.co/3mJhRJabpf — PolitiTweet.org

Carper won’t talk about what’s going on. Didn’t seem especially enthused — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
Democrats say Manchin is not yet committed to supporting the Carper amendment and that’s the hold-up, per source. Sinema and Tester seemed to be trying really hard to get him on board — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
Portman seems to think he has Manchin’s vote for his proposal to shrink the UI benefit to $300 without some of the other changes — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
They’ve moved to the cloakroom. Best I can tell Manchin isn’t entirely sold on the new UI deal — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
Sinema, Tester and Cortez Masto are working on Manchin, who seems to be the sticking point. Sinema told him the vote is today, implying that negotiations can’t continue forever. Tester could tell we were listening because I heard him making fun of me — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
Animated conversation on the Senate floor between Manchin, Cortez Masto, Schatz and Durbin as Senate tries to figure out way forward on amendments. Sinema walked up too, and told Durbin to put his mask on (Durbin had taken it off briefly to speak more clearly) — PolitiTweet.org
