But Democratic leadership has, once again, folded to Republicans without attempting to fight for us.
Senate Democrats just killed the push today for $2000 checks.
A few Senators--namely Sanders and Markey--wanted to hold up the NDAA as leverage to push for a vote on $2000.
Democratic leadership rejected this--including Vice President elect Harris.
But Democratic leadership has, once again, folded to Republicans without attempting to fight for us.
a.) Find another leverage against McConnell and Senate Republicans
b.) Take McConnells offer on the combined bill of $2000 checks and Trump wishlist items
This is precisely why Sanders & Markey wanted to hold it up as leverage.
Dem leadership better have a Plan B if they are serious about helping people.
But I ask how she proposes to actually get Senate Republicans to agree to $2000 payments when McConnell refused a clean bill, and while shooting down potential leverage on this today
And they wouldn’t have to resort to holding up the NDAA as leverage to do so.
Which is why it’s incredibly important for Georgians to vote for Warnock and Ossoff in the upcoming runoff election.
