11. Biden/Schumer should announce that Manchin and Sinema are in charge of bipartisan outreach

Sat Apr 10, 2021, 10:45 AM

Apr 2021

And give them deadlines to meet to present a bipartisan bill with 10 confirmed Republican votes:

End of May for infrastructure, or we go with Biden’s bill/Dem majority bill via reconciliation

End of July for voting rights, or we move to abolish filibuster and pass SB1 as written.

If Manchin and Sinema are able to craft a bill with bipartisan support, fine, that’s where negotiations begin.

If they can’t, then they will be expected to support reconciliation and ending the filibuster, or they will be stripped of all committee assignments, and will receive no DNC funds for their campaigns in 2024.
