House Democrats In a 'Panic' Over Passing Voting Rights

What's going to "Give" will be the filibuster's death and with that brake on their ambitions gone, the Democrats are prepared to pass legislation on voting rights, climate change, guns, "Economic equity," and other radical proposals that the people never asked for and won't expect.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has promised to bring the Democrat's voting rights power grab to the floor, daring the Republicans to defeat it and "Prove" how racist they truly are.

That's the way Democrats and the media will portray it anyway.

Their very own problem child, Senator Joe Manchin, whose obstinate insistence that Democrats make an effort to bring Republicans on board the voting rights bill or he won't vote for it, is topped by his refusal to destroy the filibuster.

Democrats increasingly see an existential threat from Republican-led state governments determined to place new limits on voting, which critics say would disproportionately affect voters of color, a core part of the Democratic coalition.

The GOP moves, which include scaling back the use of ballot drop boxes, limiting access for mail ballots and creating new identification requirements, threaten to make it harder for Democrats to keep their congressional majorities in the midterms, and hold the White House in 2024.

As long as Manchin and Sinema stand firm against breaking the filibuster, the Democrats don't have a prayer of passing their agenda.
