messaging as well, and it just wasn t. and so, today, their action is really shining a light on the urgency and that their demand that a speech is not going to be sufficient. they want the bill to pass. and they want commitment from the president and the vice president. they want them to call on the elimination of the filibuster or that carveout, which they don t feel like has happened yet. you have been covering senator manchin since he was in the state legislature back in the 80s and 90s. the strategy that the democrats are taking here with trying to get him on board to join in to at least a carveout or reform of the filibuster, does this work, this set of a deadline and then the pressure of the week or two before that to try to get him to change? i don t think it does. for a couple reasons. one is, just you just have to listen to what manchin says. earlier today, i think he said, you all quoted on cnn, he said, i m not going to break the rules to change the rules. manchin s
