Sens. King, Jones and Manchin only members of Senate Democratic Caucus to vote to proceed to police bill. All Republicans supported, but McConnell changed vote at end to allow him to bring back up quickly. Bill fails 55-45 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Sinema is a no: “A process without bipartisan negotiations from the start will not pass the Senate, and risks further dividing Americans instead of bringing us together.” — PolitiTweet.org

"I don’t think that that’s the choice that probably the White House wants the American people making I think they want it to be a voice between Biden and Trump and that means they’re going to have to get more engaged. And eventually they will," — PolitiTweet.org

"Needs to certainly be a change in probably strategy as far as the WH's messaging is concerned and in the end it’s going to be a binary choice. It’s going to be Biden vs. Trump. Right now Biden is getting the benefit of not being covered ... right now it’s Trump v. Trump" — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting comments from Sen. Thune, the No. 2 Senate R, on Trump's poll numbers and poor support with Indys: "He can win those back, but it’ll probably require not only a message that deals with substantive policy but I think a message that conveys perhaps a different tone” — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Another was a profane voicemail left for a Scott staff assistant, after she asked the caller to stop cursing at her and hung up. Honestly, there wasn't much we could put into print from these. Scott played two VMs for colleagues today, just a sampling of the many he receives — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Tim Scott played racist and derogatory VMs he + staff are receiving to Senate GOP colleagues during lunch Tuesday, One of the voicemails called Scott “Uncle Tim” and described him the “lowest piece of sh*t this country ever produced" https://t.co/fEArqliNbG @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

But Sen. Tim Scott said he hadn’t talked to her before today “I’ve tried to touch base with her on several occasions. We’ve been playing phone tag and text tag and we had ... meetings set up that keep getting canceled,” Scott said. “She has not been a part of the conversations” — PolitiTweet.org

I asked Sen. Booker how Sen. Harris balances the VP search and this bill. He said she views racial justice outside politics "How many things does she have to do demonstrably to show she’s beyond politics when it comes to issues of racial justice?” Booker said. — PolitiTweet.org

“She could show some leadership by helping us get started,” Cornyn said after spat with Harris. “It’s not rational. So it’s hard to understand. It’s almost like these folks haven’t been in the Senate very long and they don’t know how to legislate.” — PolitiTweet.org

“We cannot proceed with what they’re offering. It’s empty. It’s empty,” she said on Tuesday. And it might take an election: “There’s no question that if we are in the majority in the Senate and that if Joe Biden were president there would be a lot more movement.” — PolitiTweet.org
