From nbc news world headquarters in new york, i m joshua johnson. Welcome one last time to the week. Let s begin with a bit of optimism among democrats in their push for voting rights legislation. Senate democrats are close to an agreement for a new version of the for the people act. One that all 50 democrats would support. That s according to three democratic aides familiar with the negotiations. West virginia democratic senator joe manchin has been part of the negotiations. He made the rounds on the sunday shows today. Lisa murkowski has been working with me. We have been talking to quite a few different republicans who are interested in doing something that makes sense. Remember, the democrats would need the support of ten republicans to override a possible filibuster. If republicans do block the bill, it s unclear whether senator manchin would change his opposition to filibuster reform. Meanwhile, the democrats $3. 5 trillion infrastructure plan remains stuck in a standoff. It fac

What is the twomonth cycle and why is delta such a media dilemma? we have covid insights that you won t hear anywhere else. But first, how news sources should be covering a critical point in biden s presidency. He is facing some serious headwinds right now. These headlines tell that story. He is coming off the afghanistan withdrawal, and now this may be the single most important month of president biden s tenure, between afghanistan, booster plans, vaccine mandates and the infrastructure plan. 3. 5 trillion is the shorthand heard on tv news. But today senator manchin says he won t vote for a bill that is that big. So we hear the price tag cons constantly, but what s being purchased? how much do you know about the purpose of the social safety net bill? democrats are, in the words of the new york times, taking the most significant expansion of t
