Pass the house at the same time as that infrastructure bill passes the house. they believe that withholding their support is leverage, supports moderates behind the larger bill. the democratic leaders are trying to convince the progressives to change their mind, and that is the challenge for joe biden, urging his caucus to get behind this saying they need to pass this today. the question is how any of these progressives will react to this. going into the meeting, they made clear they were not go...

Not happening, which could be the biggest risk for president biden. what a morning it is for you. in the next few hours, the president will either be declaring victory on a deal for his social agenda or explaining why he couldnt bring democrats together to pass a plan yet. a plan designed to help millions of kids, parents, and students in this country. we dont know which way this is headed. we dont know whats in the plan. we dont know exactly how they will pay for it. we do know the president de...

Sinema say theyre on board, too. they dont want to vote for, they dont want to lose their leverage then find out that manchin and sinema arent on board. so until they come on board, this will they bless this deal, until they say yes, were in, i think its going to be very hard to move forward and win the votes of those 50 progressive legislators. and just on your point with jim, wo wolf, this morning when the speaker spoke to the delegation, her caucus, she said we want to make sure that when the...
