year. and also tax incentives to encourage manufacturers to build in cold countries. we urge senator manchin to revisit his opposition to this legislation and work with his colleagues to pass something that will help keep gold miners working. nbc news is reporting that in that senate discussion tonight, chuck schumer said that the senate would proceed to the build back better bill in january. bring it to the senate floor. the senate will also bring voting rights to the senate floor and if republicans block it then the democrats will consider and vote on rules reform. joining us now is congressional historian, norman ornstein, he is a married scholar at the american instant prize institute. norman, your idea was in the discussion tonight about rules reform in the senate that will allow them to vote on voting rights without having to clear
policy. it was a broad strokes conversation about continuing the negotiation. let s talk about voting rights. because schumer also said the they re would vote on voting rights in january. they weren t going to wait that long and if republicans block it, they would, quote, consider and vote on rules reform. which means changing the filibuster at least a one-time change, but a change. reporter: that s right. this is the first time chuck schumer has come this close to endorsing a weakening of the senate filibuster in order to pass voting rights legislation. he mostly danced around it saying all options are on the table, not only is he suggesting that the senate should carve out the filibuster to pass voting rights. he s promising there will be a vote to do that. at this moment he doesn t have 50 votes. manchin and sinema are holdouts, but democrats have a majority in the house and senate to pass major pieces of voting rights.
senators want them to be. there is this myth of tradition that it likes to sort of wrap itself up as an institution. but really, what it is, it s over 200 years of history of people who are doing what is politically convenient at the time and shouting it in the grand myths of prediction. it s absolutely true. we are making an exception to the filibuster here because it is politically advantageous to mitch mcconnell. he doesn t want to have this fight because he s worried that if you filibustered the debt ceiling, it will go through with the new color option and change the rules. so he s making this as an exception. and senator warren is absolutely right. there s no principal reason why, if you re going to make an exception here you could make it on other things, such as voting rights. so hopefully, it s a weird thing that s happening right now, but hopefully this is a modest step forward towards rules reform. it is things like, this it s the small steps. it s things like senator cotton
