Senate Scraps Recess to Take on Filibuster

“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) key deadline of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday on Monday for a Senate vote on election and voting legislation and a bid to change the chamber’s filibuster rules will come and go before the chamber takes up the proposals,” Politico reports.

Punchbowl News: “Schumer doesn’t have the votes to win either of those fights. But after Schumer and President Joe Biden have gone this far playing a losing hand on these two high-profile issues, they’ve apparently decided to ride it all the way to the bitter end, even if it means exposing vulnerable Democratic senators to a politically difficult vote. That’s some interesting member management.
