A lot happened in politics Tuesday, but did anything really change?

WASHINGTON — Twenty-four hours later, the political storylines pretty much remain the same.

Senate Democrats don’t have the votes to advance their voting-rights bill.

New York City Democrats don’t have a definitive winner in their mayoral primary — at least not yet.

And the bipartisan infrastructure talks haven’t produced a clear way to pay for the increased spending.

But there has been some movement on each story.

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., voted with all other Senate Democrats on the voting-rights bill to create a unified front (though one that still can’t get past a GOP filibuster).

Frontrunner Eric Adams holds a strong lead in the New York Democratic primary for mayor, but we won’t see the final results until next month (see below).

And tonight, per NBC’s Mike Memoli and NBC’s Capitol Hill team, top Biden White House officials will be meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to discuss how to proceed on infrastructure and voting rights.

There’s one other link to these three different storylines: Democratic progressives and activists find themselves unable to fundamentally change a party where their leaders’ and voters’ instincts remain rooted in pragmatism and seeking consensus.

The Senate legislative filibuster is still alive; the progressive candidate in New York (Maya Wiley) is trailing Adams; and Democrats still haven’t figured out a way to move on infrastructure without GOP votes.

Adams leads in New York, but final results won’t be released for weeks

With the early and day-of votes counted, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has 31.7 percent of the first-preference votes in New York City’s Democratic mayoral race — followed by former NYC mayoral counsel Maya Wiley at 22.3 percent and former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia at 19.5 percent.

Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang got a disappointing 11.7 percent of first-preference votes, and he’s already bowed out of the race.

But the count isn’t over: New York is still waiting on late-arriving absentee ballots, and then there’s the ranked-choice tallying, which could all take weeks to sort out.

Still, Adams appears to be driver’s seat. As the Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman observes from the limited number of ranked-choice counts he’s covered, a 9-point in first preference is difficult for the opposition to overcome.

The Democratic winner will face Republican Curtis Sliwa, who easily won the GOP’s two-person contest.

NBC's Lauren Egan writes that Biden’s strategy will address five key areas — “stemming the flow of firearms used to commit violence; providing law enforcement with more resources; investing in community violence interventions; expanding summer programs and employment opportunities, especially for young people; and helping formerly incarcerated people re-enter their communities.”

Before that speech, Biden will deliver remarks at the funeral of the late Sen. John Warner, R-Va., at 11:00 a.m. ET.
