The House and Senate return to Washington together this week with Democrats facing four tasks that would be challenging on their own — but, taken together, are the legislative equivalent of Hercules’ labors
But one of those nine moderates who had demanded that timeline, Rep. Ed Case , said Sunday that he was staunchly opposed to an alternative date.
"I think at the end of the day, when you’re faced with an up-or-down vote on the floor of the House, you’re going to vote for it," he said. "That’s a serious no vote." “It’s crunch time. ... Everyone is going to use every ounce of leverage they have. I think that’s fine,” said Rep. Dan Kildee . “However, we all know that the worst scenario is one where we do nothing.”
Clyburn on Sunday acknowledged Democrats might ultimately have to address the debt issue without Republican assistance, something Democratic leadership has refused to publicly acknowledge so far. Democratic leaders must simultaneously try to keep their vast social policy bill on track for quick passage — a bill many see as pivotal for proving the party's governing prowess ahead of the 2022 midterms. And with Biden’s approval rating hitting a new low, party lawmakers — particularly those from competitive districts — are intent on delivering the administration a win.
