Bernie announces his next move: An amendment to take tax deductions away from large corporations that don't pay above $15-an-hour wages. Wants it IN the reconciliation bill— Sam Stein (@samstein) February 26, 2021
Yeah I think your edit is right. Manchin and Sinema say they will side with the parliamentarian no matter what, even if Harris supported overruling her (which she doesn't, as you said).
Basically the White House won't fight for it, and even if they did the Senate won't fight for it, and even if they did Manchin flat-out doesn't support the minimum wage hike anyway. So we're fucked three ways on that one.
First edit was wrong. They only need 41 votes to stick with including it, since the filibuster works in their favor. The parliamentarian isn’t a real role with power—it’s purely advisory.
