republicans are pushing for a simple majority vote to derail vaccination efforts but refuse to allow a simple majority to protect voting rights, raise the minimum wage, pass police reform, codify roe or strengthen labor rights.  qt @mkraju marshall and lee say their amendment must be set at a 51-vote threshold (to defund biden's vaccine mandate).
doing that gives it a chance at passage, since manchin would not rule out backing it today.
they are signaling they'll object if dems set amendment vote at 60.
shutdown?
