Biden tells Democratic donors "we need two more senators"

[AZProgressive]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a pair of fundraisers here on Friday, President Joe Biden urged Democratic donors to send him reinforcements on Capitol Hill to keep Republicans out of power and help dislodge his agenda from the current gridlock.

“We need two more senators,” Biden said at the second fundraiser, a reference to Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, two members of the Democratic caucus that he’s struggled to win over.

Without naming either of them, he said they’re “slowing up what we’re able to do.”

3. Also,

Maybe.....Puerto Rico, D.C. Please, please!

13. PR is absolutely not a lock that it would yield 2 Dem Senators nor all Dem Reps

4. He's right, and our best chances are in PA and WI. So if you live in a blue state

and a Democrat is pretty much guaranteed to win, don't send them money. Send the money to Fetterman in PA or whoever wins the WI Democratic primary.

Thune in South Dakota is vulnerable but the D.C. Dems won't bother to talk with South Dakota citizens to learn why. Thune's opponent is the real deal and very capable of winning.

7. Could you give us a little info as to why Thune is vulnerable?

Some info about his opponent? Thanks.

10. According to my data he's not.

Every rating group has South Dakota as "Safe R". The Democratic candidate, Brian Banks has less than $50,000 in his campaign fund.

I don't care how much you don't like Thune. That doesn't make the Democratic alternative competitive. If our goal is to pick up additional Senate seats, there are better opportunities.

8. I hadn't heard that. What information do have suggesting a Dem could win Thune's seat

6. Let me count the ways! Let's give Joe Biden a solid majority.

9. How about 12 new Democrats in the senate?

[brooklynite]

11. If we're going to fantasize, why not imagine all 33 seats up this year?

[Deuxcents]

14. Better yet

[BWdem4life]

12. Hmmm that's easy enough...

Make DC a state, problem solved.

15. I think PA will be helping with Fetterman!

I will be donating what I can and enthusiastically voting for him in the election.

16. Sinema is toast. Dems in AZ are gunning for her. But unfortunately, her term is not up until 2025
