1. Let's hope that it's true.

2. Another leaked audio? Speaker Pelosi hinted at his vote a few days ago.

It appears Pelosi herself spoke with Manchin in private, rather than taking the low rode & heading straight to the media with a headline grabbing tell all.

That's why she's the most successful Speaker in history.

Its still up to Sen Manchin in the end.....

3. True, Nancy Pelosi is the most effective Speaker ever.

As for Manchin, I'll believe when I see it and there is still his partner in opposition, Senema.

4. And now there's a 3rd one who will ask America to sacrifice & get nothing,

rather than something & build from there in the years ahead.
3rd one, 4th ...5th

It become a massive heartache that never should have been. Could legislators simply get out of their egos & begin to work on the failing decrepid infrastructure.

Its not about them, their desires.

I appreciate the video the WH made about failing infrastructure in Mitch McConnell's home State..

They should do one for all 50 States & run it every damned day until politicians get their shit together.

Ugh.

11. Are you saying there is another Dem holdout?

6. Sinema has so pissed off her constituents...her poll #s have dropped dramatically

If she wants to be re-elected she’s going to have to come around

[Budi]

7. I think I read she has a Dem challenger. I freakin hope so.

Some people in the end do realize they just aren't made of what it takes to stand up for your word, against the hard core business of DC Politics.

You don't have to please everybody.
Just the average people that are counting on you to live up to your word.

9. Maybe she was put in place for just this reason, Stop the Democratic from progress to win

the 2022 Congressional Midterm elections. She may not care about the office at all.

[PortTack]

5. Amen to that! Smart, savvy unrelenting...I don't know where we'd be had we not had her

[Budi]

8. K & R to Pelosi.

C'mon Manchin. Seal the deal.

10. There's an actual leaked

audio of Manchin talking to the Donors, no labels.
