The budget wars are about to begin. Yet, in January, moderate Senate Democrats offered an olive branch as the Trump tax cuts expired: they’d be willing to work with Republicans on tax cuts without going through the reconciliation process. They promised they would deliver enough votes to break filibusters (via Politico):

A group of eleven moderate Senate Democrats say they want to work with Republicans on addressing the GOP's expiring tax cuts and raising the debt ceiling.

In a new letter to Republican leaders, they say they are willing to cut spending, protect family-oriented tax policies, have “competitive” rates on businesses — and that they can provide enough votes to allow Republicans to overcome a filibuster in the Senate without having to resort to so-called reconciliation. 

The lawmakers say they’re otherwise worried Republicans will tack the $4 trillion cost of extending their tax cuts onto the deficit, which will increase interest rates for everyone, something nonpartisan budget forecasters have recently warned about.
