Dead on arrival.

If it’s bipartisan, who are the republican co-sponsors? Doubt there are any. And a significant number of democrats will block it. Manchin and Sinema aren’t going to “expand welfare”.

Ok, one Republican co-sponsor, and it’ll need at least 11 to pass the senate (Manchin will never vote for it).

If you think it’ll pass it’s probably easy money on predictit, right?

It won’t, dead on arrival.
