Al Franken: “Episodic scandals and recurring disasters are no way to go through life.”

And that is an existential threat to our democracy.

I think this autocracy issue will be an enormous issue for Americans.

What is great about this is that it gives us the time to get Sinema and to get Manchin and to get all 51 with the vice president on board on a package and if we tell the American people and keep telling the American people what’s in it.

I think Mitch was afraid they would be forced into doing that. They feel forced to do it. This though gives us time to pass build back better.
