A reporter told President Biden: ‘You did it regularly have you designated 36 years in the Senate, your assistants have spoken about your abilities to a closer to transactions regarding law. Why could not you, mr. President, to conclude the agreement with members of your own party on the most important parts of you legislative agenda last week? ”
Biden replied: ‘I was able to close the deal with 99% of my party. Two. Two people who are still on the go. I do not think there was a president who could closes transactions that position where he has only 50 votes in the Senate. And a mere majority in the Huse. It’s a process. It’s a process. We’ll get it right. ”
The president was asked if he blamed Manchin and Cinema, to which he replied: ‘Look, I need 50 votes in the Senate. I have 48. “
Joe Manchin has said he wants a deal. Sen. Cinema hides in a bathroom in the state of Arizona.
All the evidence indicates that an agreement will be reached. The president is right. He signed the deal with 99% of his caucus, and it’s only a matter of time until he gets Manchin and Cinema on board as well.
