“During their caucus lunch Tuesday, Senate Democrats discussed potentially excluding the debt ceiling from Senate filibuster rules,” Politico reports.
“The potential carveout for the debt limit is a long shot, given Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) opposition to weakening minority-party rights. But the idea appears more popular within the caucus than going through the strenuous motions of reconciliation after Wednesday’s vote to suspend the debt ceiling likely ends in a filibuster.”
