Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., announced late Thursday night that she is willing to “move forward” on Democrats’ tax, climate and health package after leaders agreed to drop a provision modifying the taxation of “carried interest” and make other tweaks to “protect advanced manufacturing and boost our clean energy economy.”
With those changes, Sinema said in a statement she would vote to proceed to the bill “subject to the Parliamentarian’s review.”
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer said earlier Thursday that he expects to call a vote on the motion to proceed Saturday afternoon, which would then trigger up to 20 hours of debate on the measure before a “vote-a-rama” in which senators can offer unlimited amendments before final passage.
