Democrats confront failure on elections strategy

Democrats confront failure on elections strategy POLITICO 3 hrs ago By Burgess Everett and Marianne LeVine © AP Photo/Alex Brandon Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., talks with reporters as the Senate voted on a key test vote on the For the People Act, a sweeping bill that would overhaul the election system and voting rights. After months of build-up, Democrats are boxed in on their party’s signature election reform plan. And there’s no apparent escape route. Senate Republicans blocked Democrats’ sweeping ethics and elections legislation on Tuesday, a filibuster that many in President Joe Biden’s party hoped would turbocharge the demise of the chamber’s 60-vote threshold for most bills. But Democratic moderates’ support of the filibuster has only hardened in recent days, culminating in an emphatic defense of the supermajority requirement by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) on the eve of Tuesday’s vote.
