New details with @marianne_levine: Rs may want to discuss preserving the legislative filibuster as part of talks on the 50-50 Senate between Schumer and McConnell. Some Ds say they want to keep 60-vote threshold, but Rs may want more ironclad commitment https://t.co/Nx21vByJVB — PolitiTweet.org

“Given what we’ve been through as a country: a pandemic, and an attempted coup, this relationship simply has to work,” added Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii). “The normal political calculus about maximizing advantage in the next election has to be set aside.” — PolitiTweet.org

“They’re both pragmatists in that they have to get this done for us to move forward. I think they will. I don’t get the sense McConnell is going to hold out for weeks or anything like that,” said GOP Sen. Capito — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell and Schumer have had a combative four years under Trump. Today they will try to cut a deal on running a 50-50 Senate with Schumer as majority leader. They aren't there yet -- big meeting this afternoon that will set the tone for Biden era https://t.co/Nx21vByJVB — PolitiTweet.org

There is no deal yet on running the 50-50 Senate yet between Schumer and McConnell, per sources, although it's still expected to be similar to 2001 Daschle-Lott agreement. Schumer and McConnell to meet later today — PolitiTweet.org

Blumenthal says this argument is “bogus” “It is manufactured out of thin air,” he said. “Judges have tried to resign so they wouldn’t be tried and the Senate has said no, sorry, you don’t get to evade accountability” — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Sen. Ernst says she’ll listen to Trump trial arguments but believes it might not be constitutional because “he’s not our president after tomorrow.” “They chose to move forward with impeachment. We need to start healing. I don’t think this does it” — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Dems say their preference is to do Biden’s covid bill on a Bipartisan basis—not jump immediately to reconciliation and a party line vote. But if Rs stall, Dems won’t wait long to move on their own “All options are on the table,” Stabenow says https://t.co/3D9X1h3qkC — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer talking to McConnell about path forward, nothing clinched so far. Pelosi still hasn't sent impeachment articles over. And DoD nominee needs a waiver from House and Senate. It's an incredibly uncertain and pivotal moment for the Senate as Biden is sworn in — PolitiTweet.org

Uncertainty as Senate changes hands, impeachment trial looms. But Dems hope Biden ends week w DHS + Defense secretaries Stabenow: Rs “should absolutely be working with us to do at minimum, the confirmations that we supported for President Trump.” https://t.co/YWgbjUAvw3 — PolitiTweet.org

In letter to Schumer, Graham says the Senate should vote to dismiss Trump’s impeachment trial. Republicans can offer this motion and it would need a majority of the Senate, which seems highly unlikely with a 50-50 Senate — PolitiTweet.org

No whipping from McConnell, who helped lead the defense, coordinated with the White House and declared there was “no chance” of convicting Trump in 2020. Now he is keeping an open mind of whether to convict the president of “incitement of insurrection,” associates say. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's "words were reckless and his words certainly had an impact on how fired up people were. But his words were also carefully selected,” Cramer said. “If you’re going to take him at his word, his words were ‘protest peacefully and patriotically." — PolitiTweet.org

Since that convo, 8 senators challenged election results, the Capitol was overrun by pro-Donald Trump rioters and the president was impeached. “There’s a lot of people upset. But the legal standard for inciting insurrection is going to be pretty hard to prove." said Sen. Cramer — PolitiTweet.org
