would love if someone could ask her for clarification and what exactly changes she thinks would win Republican support for a voting rights bill, but whoops, she doesn’t do interviews or respond to her constituents — PolitiTweet.org

i’m sorry, but is it just me? or does sinema imply with her “these challenges cannot be solved by … Washington alone” bit that voting rights issues can’t be solved at the federal level without state buy-in? — PolitiTweet.org

GOP claps as Leahy announces that the vote has failed. Schumer withdraws the motion to reconsider cloture on the bill, which means that no further reconsideration of the cloture vote can be made. https://t.co/ZzFi8bEAzc — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

GOP claps as Leahy announces that the vote has failed. Schumer withdraws the motion to reconsider cloture on the bill, which means he can put it forward again at a later time. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

@StevenTDennis So does the bill stay on the floor then absent a motion to table? It’s been awhile since I’ve seen an actual bill on the floor be the thing that fails cloture. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Sinema also votes, very loudly, “aye.” This is gonna be a 48-52 vote, as expected. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Annnnd Manchin votes “aye.” This motion will not pass. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

The question on the floor: “Shall the ruling of the chair be upheld” — aka is Leahy right in shooting down Schumer’s point of order Democrats are voting “no” and Republicans “aye.” Listening now for Manchin and Sinema. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Schumer begins the process, moving for reconsideration, adds a point of order and Leahy rejects it. Schumer calls for an appeal of the decision, and the clerk will call the role. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

We could have literally 200 speeches on this bill, some five minutes, others literally over 24 hours if Republicans want to go that route. But then the bill would get an up-or-down simple majority vote — if Manchin and Sinema signed on. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Schumer reiterates that this proposal they’re going to vote on is a one-time rule change for this bill. Every senator will be allowed to speak twice, literally for days if they want, and no amendments will be allowed. After that point, a majority will be able to pass the bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Schumer reiterates that this propisal is a one-time rule change for this bill. Every senator will be allowed to speak twice, literally for days if they want, and no amendments will be offered. After that point, a majority will be able to pass the bill. — PolitiTweet.org

again, McConnell has spent the last 30 years making the exact same arguments against new federal election laws: https://t.co/DIEYPFOTq1 — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Democrats want to “shatter the soul of the Senate for short term power,” McConnell says. But “a brave bipartisan majority of this body will stop them” So…Manchin and Sinema, good job on greenlighting disenfranchisement being a bipartisan issue https://t.co/IqcqyWQBs2 — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

McConnell saying that Democrats are trying to “fundamentally turn us something we have never been” is honestly THE most conservative arguement he could make. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

McConnell notes that the entire Senate hasn’t been gathered like this since Jan. 6 last year. Divisions would not be helped with two parties ruling over each other in turn "with an iron fist," he says. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

McConnell calls the “so-called talking filibuster proposal” “smoke and mirrors.” He says it’s all about “does it take 60 votes to pass massive changes or not?” Again…the 60 votes is to end debate, not pass the bill!! — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

McConnell insists that this is all “a plot to break the Senate.” Also cites that Americans don’t see election laws as their most pressing concern. “And this, this is the basis upon which the POTUS called people like us racists? Traitors? Over this?" — PolitiTweet.org
