Can we not turn Manchin's decision to our 2022 advantage?

A lot of families are going to miss their $300/child monthly tax credit check starting in January. Why can't we run in 2022 on the sales pitch: "remember that monthly child credit check? Give us one more Senator and the House and you'll have it again"? Seems like a political winner to me.
