Progressives and moderates over the trillion dollar reconciliation bill. one of those moderates is arizona senator kyrsten sinema who released a scathing new statement just a little over an hour ago blasting democrats over delaying the vote, calling it, a, quote, failure, and, quote, inexcusable. nbcs julie tsirkin is on capitol hill for us. i read this statement from kyrsten sinema and i thought, it doesnt even seem like its coming from the democratic party, considering how scathing it was, par...

Caucus, with the moderates who want a very specific thing on this infrastructure proposal is to try to take things out of arcane negotiations over very micro issues and more into the bigger elements of what can be accomplished holding a extraordinarily bare majority in the house. literally no margin for error in the senate and a democrat in the white house to actually do the things many of them have wanted to do for decades. >> lets listen to see if president biden says anything here. >> why is ...
