is now just five days away, we re going into an election year where republicans are not going to want to help out democrats, not give them a win. so to parcel this out into smaller individual items and try to pass it through with ten republican votes is extremely difficult. so then what is the other option? we heard from senator ben carden earlier today on air and he talked about potentially they can slim down this bill and get it to the point joe manchin would be on board with it. the fact remains the vast majority of senate democrats, and that s 49 out of 50, want to see build back better passed but the question is what will joe manchin accept and is there anything that would be acceptable to him that is slimmed down that they can get over the finish line with just those democratic votes? and that s what we just don t know yet. jessica deeran, thanks. here to discuss, congressman jason crow of colorado. i heard you had a recent bout of covid and i m glad you re feeling better. wh
