This is a manufactured “win” for the Democrats by the media.
That said, Mitch McConnell is an idiot. There are enough Republicans in the Senate to block the Democrats from this kind of games playing

The Democrats, who'd love to tax millionaires, are actually afraid to do that. They'd lose the very minor benefit they get from arguments about cutting it a bit, then extending it, then extending it a little bit, and then wrapping it up in zigzag paper and smoking it, or using it as a suppository, or whatever.
Now, for a follow on to this, barring some accident of fate that makes that idea look really good to the Democrats, Republicans should up the ante by REQUIRING that all FICA paid by employers be considered a deductible business expenses if and only if the employee on whose behalf that payment was made has been certified by E-Verify to be in the country lawfully.
Some "millionaires" will end up paying higher taxes on their profits ~ but some illegal aliens will abruptly discover that their going rate is too high for the market.
An American might well be able to get a job in America.
