to vet yet vote yes. you may think joe manchin shoulding up the party but he s never said anything in fact he didn t get a lot of push back from the president list zen. the president thinks he can get 51% for this bill, we re going to trust him, we re tired of waiting for one or two people, we trust the president will get 51 votes for this and we ll pass both bills through the house soon as we have these final negotiations wrapped up. i urge everybody to keep tempers down, sometimes this happens in final negotiate. not really. not within the same party. this is somewhat unique to the democrats. now, to be fair, once again, the media loves the lineup of
point advantage. you could argue what s going on in washington, d.c. you could argue democrats haven t passed much of anything. this fits a historical pattern the party out of power has more enthusiasm on its side, looking to punish the part of the president so, my producer just said, when you said the sub yous are breaking suburbs are breaking i meant blue because that s the story why biden won. fairfax, loudoun, they western very bi bad on trump versus his first campaign which was the big swing for biden. why don t we believe that will happen again. even thoet base for trump and youngkin won t make it.
united states last administration pulled out of the paris accord and sort of behind the 8 ball. well biden is now behind the eight ball as well. forget the hype. what is the reality of action this week? let s ask the deputy w.h.i.p. of the progressive caucus, great to you have on sir always great to be on. this week or not. most likely yes, we re going to vote on both bills, chair j powell made that clear. i m convinceed it will pass the sent at but let s not put an exact date on it. so you believe it passes the house this week, not necessarily both houses? correct. and i believe the president will deliver the house version with the key priorities, universal
deadlines, will it be now? will it be then? the democrats don t have to play into and they keep doing it. i see all this brinkmanship as hype, but the infrastructure and spending bills will pass. it s just about when and how it looks for the democrats. all this deadline drama is definitely bad for them. and it puts the president in the odd position of touting spending achievements that don t exist yet. he did it in scotland today, playing up the $555 billion that are in to plan and fight climate change. he called it the, quote, most significant investment any advanced nation has ever made. now bragging about something being the greatest when it hasn t happened yet ironically made him sound a lot like the man he apologized for today at the summit. i guess i should apologize for the fact
my understanding is soon as we vote yes on infrastructure it goes to the president because we re going to vote on the senate bill without amendment. so that is the risk that we vote on that, on the reconciliation bill, it goes to the senate. now the senate has to act. i m convinced the president will ensure that bill passes the senate. they make changes it s going to be back-and-forth. but the key commitment the president has made is that he has 51 votes for key priorities and he didn t make that commitment for months, he only made it after he thought he could get those votes. that s why many of us are confident in that commitment if terry micale loses the governor s race in virginia do you think it s you re guy s fault? no i think it s the fact that the entire party couldn t come together quicker. it would have been better to have these deals done and as a
