he already took out the most dangerous incumbent ever, too. before he even stepped foot in the officeLet's wait and see what happens first with the VRA, police reform, infrastructure and foreign policy before anointing him. It's a great start though
The parliamentarian cut the minimum wage increase out the Democrats. Bernie's $15 amendment was just a symbolic resolution (it also needed 60 votes to pass which it wasn't getting even if every Democrat voted in favor).
Also, Dem leaders have pledged to continue to fight for a $15 dollar minimum wage in other ways. Let's hope they follow through.
We can gripe about Sinema and Manchin but the best part is McConnell has no say in anything at all.
Mitch is getting destroyed in the comments
I dont think he will complete his term. He's trying to pass some law that would deny the democrat governor from choosing his replacement,Is Mitch going to retire?

and instead get chose by the republican party.
Manchin opposes $15 min wage. Some of the other Senate Dems have claimed they opposed the amendment on procedural grounds (you can't pass it through reconciliation).Do we know why c00ns voted no on the minimum wage? So bizarre considering he's Biden's closest ally in the Senate.
The amendment was going to fail anyway because it didn't have 60 votes, plus Manchin and Sinema were already against it, but the other six Dems voting no was just bad politics.
