Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.14pm post the the following remarks by President Biden to House Democrats, " “I am back here to tell you that we have a framework that will get 50 votes in the United States Senate,” "
Lets Get Real:
One assumes that even President Biden would not say the above in less he was 100% he has the votes in the Senate. Biden's Chief of Staff has stated that the both Biden Bills is up there with the NEW DEAL, WHEN your Chief of Staff has to say that, it means that the books have been cooked because the meal is not that great, some major liberal demands have had to be thrown in the bin because two Democratic Senators have the whip hand and Biden had to go with what they would accept. Thus it can be expected that the first of the bills, the infrastructure bill will be passed either today or tomorrow and then the Biden social agenda will be passed by the Democratic controlled Senate. Thus big wins that the Democrats can run on in 2022 in the MID TERMS and also help with Governor elections in Virginia and New Jersey. One has to tip ones hand to the Democratic leadership, they came politically good at the end.
This blog got it wrong!
Update at 23.43
The President and Speaker could not get the House Liberals to pass the Infrastructure Bill, their power seems limited, the Speaker is a spent force, she has promised numerous days that the House will take up the Infrastructure Bill and she has been blocked by the liberals, when your members are not afraid of you any more and they will not follow you, its time for a Speaker to go, this blog would not be shocked if Speaker Pelosi does not run again in 2022 Mid Terms. The above might be accurate for next week but not for NOW. The US President will be seen as weak by other Leaders, he could not get the House Liberals to trust his judgement on the SENATE, one would not be surprised if Biden does not run in 2024. One hopes the VP has her campaign on ice, ready to move should Biden not run, he will be far to old in 2024.
