Getting all 50 Senate Democrats to vote to begin debate on protecting
democracy was a major victory. Now, we face an intense summer of activism
urging Democrats to reform the filibuster and get the job done.
And no. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are not the only Dems we have to
engage. The PBS News Hour reports that "To end or change the filibuster,
Democrats need 50 votes. But by our count, they don’t yet have half of
that number firmly ready to roll back the procedure."
In addition to Manchin and Sinema, PBS identified 2 other Senate Dems that
as of yesterday were undecided or hadn't announced where they stand, 22
more that are "open to" reforming the filibuster, and only 24 that are a
solid "yes" on reform.
Meanwhile, there's an August deadline so states can implement democracy
protections by 2022 -- so we have a very intense summer ahead of us. Our
activism will span Joe Manchin's state of West Virginia and all across the
country. Failure is not an option.
