His chances are much better than with the cruel obstructionist Mitch refusing to even bring them to a vote.
Way to set the bar low. From 2008 to 2010 Dems had full control and couldn't get any done. They were constantly stymied by the minority. Expect the same from Biden /Harris.
Always so pessimistic. Jeez NPR, have some optimism. We all need to have some right now. Trump and his family are ALMOST GONE! YES!!
We need to STOP PARTISAN POLITICS. Some issues may be a difference of political opinion, but SOME ISSUES ARE JUST PLAIN RIGHT OR WRONG, TRUTH OR LIES, LEGAL OR ILLEGAL. Shouldn't matter what party you belong to if you lie or break the law, you should be punished.
They need rules changes to minimize obstructionism.
Left out of entire JoeBiden aid package is any money to treat people who are presently or will soon have symptoms of COVID-19 to keep them out of hospital & prevent them dying. We need mass production & distribution to medical facilities of monoclonal antibodies. Funds req'd NOW
I'm concerned about the 100,000 minders that will be hired to poke their noses in other people's lives. Chances are these vaccines will be useless in a year anyway.
You know that every vote will get pushed to a super majority requirement.
What happened to the old deals where the politicians added things that were important to their states in these bills as compromise to get things passed? Seems like when the Obama presidency came everybody was all or none and nothing got done anymore.
Eliminate the filibuster.
Leadership competitions are stupid.
Everything worth fighting for is a uphill battle, the question now is, will NPR do it's part to help or hurt America. Everyone has to do their part No exceptions.
I think he'll have less a hard time than, say, someone like Bernie. It's not like Biden is proposing radical ideas. These are things Dems have been talking about, so I don't think he'll have much to worry about. It's the much more progressive issues, if he chooses to tackle them.
This old coot will face an uphill battle just getting out of bed every morning and finding the bathroom.
No Student loan forgiveness in this ether... “Jeez man”
They always have such good excuses for their failure to deliver on their promises to voters
I pray all your plans succeed, in Him.
how? they won? just pass the thing? what
Dysfunctional democracy . And to think some of y’all wanted to force this upon other countries 🙀
Seems like he will have no trouble in the House But the Senate, they may not want to spend like a crazy New Yorker for the next four years.
But don't worry! If you're penniless and evicted and sick, you are greasing the wheels of democracy! In a way, you may even matter more than we do. We will get back to you about that with very STRONG answers!
Taxfunder subsidized radio out here laundering fascist talking points. Love to see it.
JoeManchinWV joebiden We cannot afford inaction! Every dollar in consumer pockets will get spent! And we need that right now
Kamala will help with his relief
Yup... Manchin. He's a DINO.
They will hold a majority, not a 'technical majority.' Yes, he may battle to keep them toeing the line, but the Democrats will still hold an absolute majority - no technicalities about it.
Not sure why Trump is pointing to the sky. Perhaps there is a bird up there and he is afraid it will shit on him. If that happened he would be a real loser.
$1,400 and 10,000 student, loan debt forgiveness, tax credit and unemployment parts seems like a go but it’s that 15 minimum wage that is going to be the big hang up for some law makes. But what do I know I’m just a guy with a Twitter account unlike Trump.
Oh well, he has to try
nice
Why - is it the dementia or the corruption, or both
That's what worries me after the swearing in of Brett and Amy. Not to mention, Republicans still occupy half the Senate.
It's either a majority or it is not. It's not a 'technical' majority.
Oh look. The media is desperately clinging onto a “both sides” approach so they don’t lose investors

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesIm not a trumper, nor crazy about Biden, but why pick so many of the same Obama era? She was a good diplomat for Obama, but I didnt like her idealism was a little too 'elitist' in my view. I think we need people who can relate with the common American. Brilliant move! dianerocks52 Great choice, on both counts.
