While Democrats claimed a minor victory last week – passing a Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the federal government from defaulting until December 3, deep divisions between Senate moderates and House progressives have turned into an embarrassing game of chicken for Democratic leadership.
At issue are two massive spending packages; the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal which the Senate has already passed – only to be held up by House progressives – unless the Senate agrees to pass a $3.5 trillion economic blueprint which moderate Democratic Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) refuse to support unless it undergoes major legislative surgery to shed around $2 trillion. Manchin and Sinema’s votes are crucial, as the only way Democrats can hope to pass the economic blueprint is via reconciliation – which requires the two holdouts to achieve a simple majority of 50 votes, with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tiebreaker.
When is there going to be organization from Republican side to oppose the Demcoms?
It is obvious that Ron Klain, a Clinton disciple, is actually running the country and telling Joe Biden when to talk and what to say.
This is the first I’m hearing of someone named “Ron Klain.”
Ron Klain was in the news quite frequently five years ago when Hillary was running for President. Some people said he was the actual power behind the throne.
