Moderate Democrats Defend Opening the Government - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 3.17pm post that moderate Democrats are defending  their vote to open the Government.

As the Guardian points out none of the Moderates are up for re-election  in 2026 Mid Terms,  of the eight only two are retiring in 2026, so no political cost to them. Democrats will have to explain why they shut the government for 40 days and Republicans will have to produce their own health plan, if they have one.  They have hated ObamaCare since the start, and the subsidiaries to ObamaCare was due to covid outbreak, that is the problem with welfare, once given it is hard to take back.

Kyrsten Sinema Leaves the Democrats in the US Senate

BBC News: Reports " US Senator Kyrsten Sinema says she will leave Democratic Party "

Lets Get Real:

This in effects makes Senators Sinema and Manchin the most powerful Democrats in the US Senate, the Democrats have a nominal  51 to 49 majority over the Republicans, thus if the past is an indicator, these two Senators will not support scrapping the filibuster, thus helping the Republicans to block the Democratic Agenda.   The Senator has been a wildcard for the past few years, she will sit as an Independent in the US Senate, when difficult votes comes up, it will be she and Manchin who decide its fate.  The Republicans should be taking Senator to a lot of dinners, to try to butter her up, and stress the fact that the Democratic Party has gone HARD LEFT with Biden in the White House, and if she wants to get re-elected in 2024 she will need the backing of the Republicans is she cannot win a Democratic Primary.  Thus on the whole not good news for POTUS, he has had a good winning streak, so far, the economy is good when it comes to jobs, it looks like former President Trump wants to be the Republican nominee in 2024, thus far he is burning up his own candidacy, he has gone extreme right, he wants to suspend the US Constitution, and has had a dinner with a racists, he seem to have LOST THE PLOT. Thus good chance Biden can win in 2024 if keeps up this winning streak and does not do another Afghanistan.
