Hoppy: Were you close at all on the energy front? Manchin: "I've got to be honest with you, we were moving in a very productive" way — PolitiTweet.org

"I hope it's not accurate," Manchin says of 9.1% inflation number. "Shouldn't you err on the side of caution?" "Come back the first of September and pass this legislation if it's a good piece of legislation," he adds ... Issue here is ACA premiums getting set in July/August — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

"I don't know why they did that," Manchin says of Dems telling reporters Manchin is rejecting energy/taxes. Says he thought it might have been to put "pressure" on him. To be fair, Dems needed to make a decision sometime this month. — PolitiTweet.org

@HoppyKercheval Manchin says the conversations with Schumer were "good" "I know people have a hard time believing that ... my main goal is what's good for this country" Said he told Schumer reduce drug prices to generate $280B, spend $40 billion on ACA premiums. $240B to deficit reduction — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Manchin says on @HoppyKercheval that he told Schumer he wouldn't agree on a reconciliation bill until he saw July inflation numbers "Can't we wait to make sure that we do nothing to add to that?" "I'm not going to do something and overreach that causes more problems" — PolitiTweet.org

Outside groups don't get the same good ad rates as candidates. But Rs will have help to try to make up gap See: "Senate Leadership Fund will report raising $37.5 million in the second quarter ... leaving it with a record $104.7 million cash on hand heading into campaign season." — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) diplomatically offered that it’s “always helpful when the House can pass bills that matter" before bluntly observing: “The 50-50 Senate sucks.” @sarahnferris @marianne_levine https://t.co/W9roqETYMx — PolitiTweet.org

If Manchin is indeed running for reelection, he's basically in cycle. He may not have thought so a year ago when BBB was being negotiated. He was even suggesting tax increases just a few months ago He's betting that https://t.co/UzNXevYuk2. wants him to reject bigger bill now — PolitiTweet.org

"All of our efforts should be: How do we reduce the gas prices, the high prices of energy, the high prices of food, all of these things: that’s every day living. And everyone’s talking about everything except though things," Manchin said in Tuesday intvu https://t.co/wXGNLwXe04 — PolitiTweet.org

There's gonna be a lot of anger among Dems about Manchin rejecting energy/tax they've been talking about for months. But they'll have to process this relatively fast and decide whether to take the ACA/Rx deal or not https://t.co/wXGNLwXe04 — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin spokeswoman Sam Runyon responds to tonight's reporting "Senator Manchin believes it’s time for leaders to put political agendas aside, reevaluate and adjust to the economic realities the country faces to avoid taking steps that add fuel to the inflation fire.” — PolitiTweet.org

New details on what concessions Schumer was willing to make, per Dem briefed Send half the bill’s new tax revenues to deficit reduction, cut the EV subsidies, nix Direct Payment program and even support drilling permit reform https://t.co/wXGNLwXe04 — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

This blows up weeks of talks over a larger package and leaves Dems just with a slim, health-care focused piece of legislation. That's all Manchin is willing to support, per person briefed on talks. Story here https://t.co/wXGNLwXe04 — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Manchin nixed energy and tax provisions from reconciliation bill in meeting with Schumer today. He will only support provision lowering drug prices and two-year extension of ACA subsidies, per person briefed on conversation (@TonyRomm and @JStein_WaPo had it first( — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting to see a voice vote on a judge. Hasn't been much (any?) of that since the Senate Dems agreed to confirm 15 Trump judges in 2018 after Kavanaugh and got a lot of blowback from the left https://t.co/U3WuDCMroR — PolitiTweet.org

.@jackpandol of SLF said Democrats should spend their money to “invent a time machine and change their votes for reckless inflationary spending. Pending that, groups like ours will be there to relentlessly litigate Democrats destroying their constituents’ quality of life.” — PolitiTweet.org

Last cycle, some of the big fundraisers lost handily to Republicans (Think SC, Maine, Alaska). But at the moment fundraising is one of the best stories Dems have going for them and it's keeping them competitive and running, for the moment, well ahead of Biden in most races — PolitiTweet.org

New: Sen. Bennet raises $3.3M and has $8M on hand, nearly 10 times the amount of his challenger O'Dea. Things look bad for Dems politically, but they keep putting up big fundraising numbers W @madfernandez616 https://t.co/W1Up6Imnp1 — PolitiTweet.org
