Moments ago, a key meeting among congressional Dems ended.
It was announced that Thursday is a make-or-break vote for progressives.
Corporate Dems are trying to ram through a smaller bipartisan infrastructure bill so that progressives lose leverage to pass a $3.5 trillion investment in health care, jobs, child care, and fighting climate change -- paid for by taxing billionaires, corporations, and the ultra-wealthy.
23 progressives have publicly committed to #HoldTheLine this Thursday and not back the smaller bill. If they do, progressives keep a strong hand at the negotiating table against Sen. Joe Manchin and we can pass both bills together soon.
They will face pressure to cave.
Joe Manchin has made clear that he wants the House to pass the smaller bipartisan infrastructure bill on Thursday so that he holds all the cards on negotiating the bigger bill. But if his prized bipartisan bill must pass together with the big bill, progressives have a much stronger hand.
That's why we must support those who #HoldTheLine.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
