Joe Manchin?
From the article...
”President Biden and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.V.a) ended negotiations over the president’s infrastructure package on Tuesday as the two sides failed to strike a deal after weeks of talks.
The administration will now focus its efforts on conversations with a bipartisan group of senators, as it continues to search for support for the president’s wide-ranging infrastructure package, an administration official said Tuesday.
And Senate Democrats are looking at the possibility of breaking the infrastructure package in two. They could try and assemble one bill with Republicans and then try and pass a separate measure with only Democratic support in an effort to meet all of their objectives, but both strategies could prove difficult execute.
Biden spoke Tuesday afternoon with Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), who has been part of the bipartisan effort, which will meet Tuesday evening, as well as Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.a) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.).”
Yeah good luck with those two...

What is the general timeline for the infrastructure proposal to be voted on?

I’m 0% surprised. Republicans have no interest in any compromise. They especially don’t want Biden to accomplish anything so they can paint him as a “do nothing” President.

So what you are saying is that when the Republicans said they planned to block everything, they meant it.

I think they are aiming for July. Is that the final vote or just one group that is voting to get to the next step. Sorry still learning and applying what I have learned. |

Don't the dems essentially have control of all three branches of government? Why are they even trying to work with republicans? They wouldn't work with dems if the situation were reversed...they already proved that with the last administration. The democrats need to stop trying to be fair and just play dirty...it's the only way anything will be done.

And with all of the repressive voting bills that are being passed in Republican strongholds around the country that are designed to continue to give the current minority party an exaggerated overrepresentation, it may very well be the last time that happens too. After all the work that Democrats and progressives have done to get us here, it seems like a few are determined to squander what little opportunity we have to enact real change. It’s sad, pathetic and frustrating at the same time. |

And here we have another failure… No surprise there! They have no desire to do anything until they have their full power back. |
