20. What do you expect Biden to get done without Manchin?

Dec 2021

The Senate Majority Leader sets the agenda for items that get voted on.

If Manchin is taken out, that becomes McConnell who won't pass ANY of Biden's legislation or confirm ANY of his nominees. He's not called Dr. No and Dr. Death for nothing.

All committee chairs are then Republicans who will begin investigating and grandstanding, including manufacturing reasons to impeach Biden.

Think they won't? They are a very vindictive lot almost to a person.

If we can gain seats in the Senate in 2022, then Manchin becomes less important right away, at least for budget items.
