Senate Leadership has been pushing for a Christmas deadline to get the President’s signature legislation passed. At this point it is not possible. Senators Manchin & Sinema are still “far apart” from the rest of the Democratic caucus. The White House released a statement saying they were going to continue to work with the Senate to get Build Back Better passed as well as Voting reform legislation. Voting schedule, at this point is unclear. Senate Leadership says possibly “early 2022.” The Senate plans to leave for Christmas recess tomorrow. The House is already gone for the holiday break.
