The Media Is Getting It Wrong On The Reconciliation Bill Coverage

The holdup isn’t a standoff betwixt progressives and moderates. It is Manchin and Sinema successful the Senate holding up an docket that 96% of Democrats successful Congress support.

It is Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, and the progressives versus Manchin and Sinema. This isn’t immoderate large part wrong the Democratic Party. It is simply a mates of Senators slowing everything down due to the fact that they privation something.

Sen. Manchin supports galore pieces of the reconciliation bill, and has besides shown a willingness to negociate with the progressives. Manchin is apt to get connected committee astatine immoderate point. No 1 is definite wherever Sinema stands, but unless she wants a superior challenge, she had champion not deliberation astir sinking the Biden agenda.
