Max Burns: 'Biden’s inability to draw a strong line has only emboldened those on the party’s right flank, who are taking advantage of an evenly split Senate to seize outsized power to stall legislation.' - NBCNewsTHINK
Since then, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has largely let Manchin cut his own path through the Democratic policy platform — regardless of how Manchin’s rhetoric is dooming the chance of Schumer being able to hold a Senate majority in 2022.
Of course, pushing Manchin too hard could drive the West Virginian right out of the party, handing the Senate back to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the GOP. But while there’s a risk Manchin might bolt, inaction on widely popular and needed policy reform practically guarantees Democrats face a political wipeout in the upcoming elections. If Biden wants to avoid sacrificing Democrats’ hard-won 2020 victories, he needs to stand up to Manchin and bring the Democratic Senate back in line. Fast.
Severe acts like expulsion aren’t merited, aren’t productive and aren’t politically possible in any circumstance. Booting a Senator requires ain a sharply divided chamber, and while Manchin’s acting out may be migraine-inducing, it doesn’t rise to the level of criminal misconduct, which is what that type of punishment should be reserved for.
