66. Without this bill, the chances of Dems retaining the House are much, much smaller.

If Repubs regain the House, Biden's remaining agenda is DOA. If Repubs regain the Senate, Biden's judicial nominees are DOA. The gerrymandering provision certainly helps prevent losing the House. The early and mail voting along with the registration changes help prevent losing the House and the Senate.

This Yes means nothing unless he and Sinema both agree to break the filibuster. LonePirate Jun 2021 #4

They both support the bill now, apparently ColinC Jun 2021 #7

Yes on the bill is not the same as breaking the filibuster. LonePirate Jun 2021 #13

I thought manchin said he has 10 Republicans on board? ColinC Jun 2021 #41

Seven at the most. Manchin has to vote on Eyeball_Kid Jun 2021 #46

He is delusional. Ferrets are Cool Jun 2021 #72

Zero Republicans were on board. n/t totodeinhere Jun 2021 #75

If he gets us thru this and the infrastructure comes thru, we will help him win W.VA and maybe joetheman Jun 2021 #29

Well, that's a... charitable assessment Orrex Jun 2021 #33

A vote to proceed is not a vote for the bill. Sneederbunk Jun 2021 #16
