It won’t pass the House. If a Dem Senator can shore up support at home with this vote so be it.
Don’t forget we are one seat away from McConnell being in charge of the Senate.

that we would most likely lose without them.

Sinema is from a state that Democrats won recently in Presidential and Senate races. Those Democrats have higher approvals than Sinema.

And our chances of keeping Sinema's seat are probably better with another Democrat.
