Necessarily a great kind of washington. its transactional and transactional politics leads to corruption. but, look, you sometimes have to make a deal with the devil. and so the deal thats being made here is being cut with manchin. sinema will either come along or not. i think this means that schumer has at least one or two other votes in his pocket that hes now confident on. and if you break manchin, you break it. >> hey, amanda, quickly. i want to talk about the virginia governors race. we hav...

Hurdles. you heard the president during that town hall meeting this week say even though senator manchin opposes it, he wouldnt quite take it off the table. this is whats so difficult for the white house because you know who really sees that as a key priority is senator kyrsten sinema who of course is the other democratic holdout in these negotiations. so its a reflection of just how hard this rubrics cube is for the white house, but they do feel like they are on a path toward the finish line. >...

Democrats initially planned that the measure would contain $3.5 trillion worth of spending and tax initiatives over 10 years. But demands by moderates led by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va, and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., to contain costs mean its final price tag could well be less than $2 trillion.

The meeting with manchin and schumer and joe biden today is important. but youre a long way if youre going to change the pay fors this late in the game. finally this. the last time there was a messy political process with something this big was obamacare in 2009. there was a virginia governors race, republicans won. im not saying past is pro log but this is setting up to be very messy in the final days. chris: we should point out that mark warner, the absent mark warner said theres a reason that...

And as they continue to negotiate over the weekend, we think that pelosi and schumer could be meeting with president biden later today. well keep an eye out for that. >> one word we should banish from the discussions is deadline, givend n the deadlines been broken. jessica dean, good to have you on the hill, thank you. there was a big moment at the cnn town hall. president biden said the u.s. is committed to coming to taiwans defense if china were to launch an invasion. this follows china send...

Votes. its horrible in the country. mike and i tried to convince people to vote for someone and now all of the politics is about who votes and stopping people voting. its ridiculous. i suspect that since schumer is not going to let this go, that they will revisit it in someplace or another and i think the game is not over yet. >> mike murphy, same question. >> well with, i think, i mean, i agree with james, bottom line is they dont have the votes. but i dont think they are sobbing in the war roo...

If we lose our democracy here? >> you know, one of the things, don, i am putting on my old whip hat when i used to whip votes for jim clyburn in the house, sometimes you put votes on the floor to test where your caucus is to see where the other side is. but also in order to prepare for the big battle and the big vote. one of the things that will make it easier for us to tackle the how of voting rights is to get a big win. it gives us as a party some momentum to really push on that in the united ...
