An infrastructure deal has been reached, but the balance of power in the Senate is evenly split, and Donald Trump wields a lot of power over Republicans. Jonathan Kott, a former staffer for Senator Joe Manchin says, “I would be skeptical, too, but I think there’s a better chance that this list grows to 70 senators [in support] than it sinks to 59.”

I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. You know it’s coming.
Anything else would be astonishing.
If mcturttle blocks then don’t build a bridge in KY and that goes for every other senator that blocks it.
I’ll believe it when I see it. No Republican can ever be trusted
No Democrat can ever be trusted!
True.
Kamala Harris accused Joe Biden of being a racist and of sexual misconduct. Believe all women.
Delusional Manchin staffer thinks it will get 70 votes?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fall?
And then Lucy McConnell pulls away the football yet again from Joe ‘Charlie Brown’ Manchin?
cool thumbnail. nice to see all of those ‘democrats’ out there that voted against the $15 min wage.
Hmmmm i do remember this thing called the filibuster
These people are not friends they are partners in the heist!
What the public thinks of the bill going forward will depend on Biden and his use of the bully pulpit — which so far he really hasn’t shown an inclination to use, unfortunately. But I hope he starts now.
he used it a lot during the covid bill, which was very popular. right now he’s giving senators a lot of room to do their own thing, in hopes they will come through
I still don’t trust Lindsey Graham
There’s no reason you should…
if republicans pretend to negotiate this bill, they can filibuster it at the last second, forcing democrats to push it through via reconciliation. then republicans get what they want (whatever they negotiated in) PLUS democrats can’t use reconciliation again, which stops them from passing anything else
democrats are walking straight into a trap
POTUS Biden brought these people together, as he promised to unite the country … and this is what msnbc chose to talk about
What’s Heilman doing still in his house? Didn’t he get vaxxed?
Thank You Republican’s & Democratic senators for working together – lets hear it for Joe Biden!!
No
Someone should get the lady Senator a stylist
McConnell would be stupid to pull anyone from this.
Just going to say I will believe it when I see it.
Thanks to McConnel, this will be squashed.
they will pull out. 1 hour after his announcement on the bipartisan bill, biden tied that bill to a reconciliation bill including all the things republicans would not agree to. so this is dead in the water. they would be right to do so.
