I have heard Chuck Schumer and Amy Klobuchar say the that HR.1 & HR.4 will pass Congress and be enacted.
When they do so, interviewers usually turn to the latest comment by Manchin, and general discussion of the filibuster.
I don't know what discussions are taking place behind closed doors amongst Manchin, Sinema and the leadership. And neither do the pundits.
What I do know is that Schumer and Klobuchar are saying - without qualification - that the Bills are going to pass. And what I am seeing is something more than confidence - it is the demeanor of predators stalking their prey.
The leadership have runs on the board. I am more than prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt without all the gory/tasty details.

That bill passes, it will be at SCOTUS very quickly.
I don't have much hope that much of it will remain after that trip.
I say this very sadly and angrily.

I don't know that there is any other way, and we have to try and hope for the best.

Biden excels at his first news conference. The media embarrass themselves.
