secretary s response yesterday. clearly not happy with joe manchin. now you see chuck schumer wants to force a vote on this, basically to make joe manchin go thumbs down on this in public. is that smart? does the white house want to make an enemy of joe manchin? jim, i don t think so. in my life experience, putting people in that position, condemnation and vitriol doesn t usually result in the outcome that we desire. let me assure you, i m terribly disappointed, many of us including the senator, have been working hard for months on this. let me assure everybody watching that i believe this is the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end. and i m troubled by the response to it because i think these condemnations will only harden his heart, and i as vice chair of the problem solvers caucus are on a mission. my colleagues, at least democratic colleagues right now, to find common ground on this and ensure it does get done.
