It’s nice to see they have started to refer to this for what it really is rather than an infrastructure bill. Thank God for Manchin and Sineme even though I suspect they will cave when there are enough sweeteners specific to them. I hope I am wrong about that.

Manchin's days as a Democrat are largely over. He'll never win re-election in West Virginia in the Senate unless he sticks carefully to the center or goes right. And of course he is fully aware of it.

Arizona is more of a mixed right / left scenario, so Sinema should be slightly better positioned. She doesn't need to worry nearly so much about being voted out as Manchin.
