"The most important thing is, at the end of the day, what we pass has to embrace that bold vision that President Biden put forward in both the American Jobs Plan and the American Family Plan.
"And even if somehow this bipartisan agreement were to work out, it would not begin to cover and match that vision. So no matter what, we need to be working right now on that reconciliation package and bringing everyone on board." -- our Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) on the need to move forward without Republican support (which was never coming) on the Biden agenda, last night on CNN. What that means is that Senate Dems are going to have to agree on a package that gets all 50 Dem Senators (mostly Manchin again) to agree on scope and funding, which further means it will be less than what the Biden Administration originally proposed.
