I don't disagree. Although for now I am quite impressed with Wydens provision which I see as a good shot to pass in this bill. But this provision put together with a future minimum wage hike would be incredible.

She can over rule it and then Manchin and Senema bottomofthehill Feb 2021 #1
Sinema and manchin will vote for it if it's in the bill jorgevlorgan Feb 2021 #15
Really, because they have said just the opposite still_one Feb 2021 #17
She did not say she wouldn't vote for the full bill jorgevlorgan Feb 2021 #20

No she couldn't. We won't have 50 votes for the covid relief bill with the $15 minimum wage in it. lapucelle Feb 2021 #14
We would likely actually have it jorgevlorgan Feb 2021 #21
Fire/overrule the parliamentarian, maybe not have enough votes, take the provision out anyway... lapucelle Feb 2021 #28
I don't think questionable tactics would be an issue. jorgevlorgan Feb 2021 #30

I think it would be an issue with the press, and in their eyes Biden, Harris, and Schumer lapucelle Feb 2021 #33

If she did this, a vote will be forced overruling her. jorgevlorgan Feb 2021 #23
Manchin and Simena could stall the bill until the minimum wage was removed no matter what andym Feb 2021 #27
I think the latter is more true than the former -as it would be easier. jorgevlorgan Feb 2021 #34

Sorry, but Harris would be facing the exact same issue that Biden is, probably worse. msfiddlestix Feb 2021 #55
