Any chance of Manchin throwing in his vote on BBB went out the window tonight. In his position it would be political suicide considering the way things are shaping up for next year. Also, it looks like Establishment Dems are already blaming the Progs for this loss but they NEED the Progs in the House to vote for BBB and the Infrastructure Bill. Add to THAT the fact that Dems were counting on a few GOP House votes and there’s NO WAY any GOP Congressman is going to vote for any of that shit after tonight because doing so would be political suicide for them as well.I actually don't know how BBB is affected by this. Is there an actual effect on the voting power or is it simply political mandate?
So BBB and Infrastructure Bill are dead. I’m sure the Dems and GOP can agree to keep kicking the Debt can down the road but that’s all that Biden will be able to have gotten through Congress in 2 years of having the Presidency, the House, and the Senate.
