The President was inspiring today. He said, 'Look, I'm a moderate Democrat. I ran as a moderate Democrat. But I believe that we need to have a consensus, on the bigger bill, to pass infrastructure.'
No one's going to exert leverage over President Biden. I mean, he's been a senator for 36 years, two-term vice president, he beat Donald Trump. This is what he wants.
Let`s talk about what`s in this bill. We`re going to give people childcare, we`re going to give people paid family leave, we`re going to make sure that seniors get dental benefits, vision benefits.

Ultimately, God's will will imbue itself into American society deep from our heart, as has been mentioned here today.
It is, frankly, pretty unpatriotic that you don't take the time to read American history and are creating false impressions.
I have no problem with Senator Manchin. We disagree, I wish he would give us a number. But he is cordial, he is substantive, he will treat you with respect. Senator Sinema is just not responsive.
If there was a progressive woman of color who was holding up the entire president and Democratic Party`s agenda, imagine the outrage that they would face.
I think our military cares more about the loss of civilian life than any military in the world, any superpower ever in history.
When is the Democratic Party going to tell a single senator it`s time to get behind our President, it`s time to get in line.
I would just hope that we can make sure going forward that our Department will cross-check its intelligence to make sure that aid organizations are on no-strike lists.
I think Senator Manchin will come along if Kyrsten Sinema isn`t out there obstructing. He always does at the end. And I believe he wants this president to succeed.
Politics is a team sport. And at the end of the day, we have to act on behalf of the American public.
I can't predict the actions of Senator Sinema and if this deal goes down, it will be on her shoulders.
It means giving affordable childcare to everyone watching. It means seniors are finally going to get dental and hearing aids covered. It means that if you're sick, you're going to get paid leave.
It's important for people to realize this. This is not progressives versus moderates. This is the entire Democratic Party and Joe Biden versus Kyrsten Sinema.
The President has already won me over I'm on his side as by the way is 99% of the Democratic Party. We want to deliver on his message for the working and middle class.
Why is it that one senator should have this much power? I mean, you know, we're in a democracy, where one senator is holding things up and the Senate parliamentarian it's absurd, really, to be this dysfunctional as a system.
