Probably told McConnell to make sure that, when Schumer says a bill has to pass cloture, it passes, or else he’ll get rid of the filibuster.

First, this report is from Rooters. Second, my understanding is that it takes 60 votes to bring up the motion to change the Filibuster, because it is a Standing Rule. It may shake out that Mitch got the better deal and Schumer got to get on with the Senate business. Mitch doesn’t care how the propaganda about the deal plays out.

After the 2022 U.S. “Election “, all of a sudden, the Democrats make surprising “political gains “, everywhere. They will be free and fair elections, you know.

McConnell cited comments from moderate Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who said they would not favor eliminating the filibuster.

He got what he wanted and moved on.

No one read the article, but commented anyway.

What they would do is raise a parliamentary objection to the filibuster rule and then the chair would rule against them, then have a majority vote to overrule the chair. But with Dem Senators confirming they would not vote for that, that would not happen.

Not true. IF you guarantee that democrats won’t win a single seat from your plan then bring it on. 1992 was a disaster which you seem to forget. Georgia having a trump supporter, a republican and a Democrat turned out to be a disaster. So guarantee we won’t lose one seat and all of us are on board.

Mitch gets played again. Sinema is not a moderate, and Manchin rarely is, either.

.. a power-sharing agreement with Democrats...

The only little problem with this is that Dems NEVER share power with ANYONE!!
