Than intsome interest group acr the country that you dont represent and doesnt have any leverage over how youll vote. your home state, your home community, your constituency is a very different thing. and a community like the coal miners in west virginia that have such a deep legacy in that state. and affiliation with senator manchin that he, i think, is quite proud of putting forward the fact that hell always try to speak for the people of west virginia. when you hear it loud and clearly, const...

And thats cause the jobs market, unemployment is very low after peaking at nearly 15% in april of 2020, the jobless rate is down to 4.2%. workers have all the leverage. the other misconception here is that this is all about younger people who maybe dont want to work and feel like they dont need to because of government aid, but that also is not really the central story here. when you actually look at the numbers weve seen that nearly 70% of the 5 million people who have dropped out of the workfo...

Leave the party. lets put the question to you. do you think that he will and if so, why would he give up the leverage he currently has? >> well, i dont know that he will. i surely hope that he will and i surely invite him to come into our party. i really believe he would be happier in the republican party. what has happened to joe manchin is in some ways similar to what happened to me. i wouldnt vote for impeachment and i was beaten up by leadership in washington, leadership back in the district...

Leverage to begin with. >> some being so. reasonabling margaret, and weve been talking about the mistrust in the build back better. so many have announced they are not seeking re-election. 23 democrats now say they are heading for the excerpts and dan merica pointed out one conversation with sherry bustos. she said weve got a problem here. there are way too many people serving as members of congress right now who i not only dont look up to, i have zero respect for, and im saddened to have to say...

Told me earlier in the week before senator mansion came out on this it could happen in march or april but really quick, cori bush also went on to say that she was part of this six or so member progressive faction in the house who said all along, if they decouple bipartisan infrastructure from build back better, they will lose all their leverage and shes saying she was right here. >> nbc julie and michelle goldberg, thank you both for coming to "the reidout." join rachel maddow for the showdown w...
