'Partisan' and 'Divisive': Biden's Signature Legislation in Jeopardy Because of Democrat Opposition

As Democrats face a "make or break" month to pass major legislation to support the president's agenda, they could be thwarted by members of their own party. 

Joe Biden has called June "a month of action on Capitol Hill." But as the Senate returns to session today, much of his signature legislation is in danger of failing thanks to a few centrist Democrats.  

And it means the "For The People Act” – the massive elections reform package Democrats have proposed – won't pass. In addition, the filibuster likely will prevent other legislation like gun control and the Equality Act from even making it to the Senate floor for a vote. The so-called Infrastructure bill is still bogged down with both sides divided over traditional infrastructure and so-called "people infrastructure" like paid leave and child care.

The president is pointing the finger at Democratic Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona for the lack of progress on his agenda.

"I hear all the folks on TV saying, why doesn't Biden get this done. Well, that's because Biden has a majority of effectively only four votes in the House and a tie in the Senate with two members of the Senate who vote more with my Republican friends,” President Biden said.
