Description
Today's Big Event: Senate Democrats will hold a virtual meeting at 12:45
p.m. It will be the first opportunity of the new year for all 50 caucus
members to talk about where Build Back Better 2.0 stands and what they
think of Majority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER’s new voting rights push. On both
issues — as usual — every utterance of JOE MANCHIN (W.Va.) and KYRSTEN
SINEMA (Ariz.) will be examined like a haruspex inspecting a sheep liver
The Latest Deadline: As we previewed Monday, voting rights and election
reform will dominate the debate in Washington over the next weeks.
Meeting self-imposed deadlines has not exactly been the Democrats’ forte
over the last year, but Schumer said Monday he wants the Senate to
consider rules changes by Jan. 17 if voting rights legislation is
filibustered.
