@SusanZakin @jaketapper Yes. But on a bunch of this stuff, he is also the public face of other reluctant Democratic senators like Sinema, Angus King, maybe Maggie Hassan, maybe Feinstein. The truth is that the Democrats really don't have more than maybe 46 votes for H.R. 1. And I'm being generous. — PolitiTweet.org

@elal523 @SusanZakin @jaketapper Stimulus bill passed with Manchin’s vote. Schumer as majority leader controls what legislation comes to the floor. There would have been no vote with McConnell in charge. — PolitiTweet.org

@KateAronoff A small point: Chuck Schumer is only Majority Leader because Joe Manchin is a Democrat. Nothing would get to the floor if McConnell were still majority leader. Manchin is better than the Democrats could ever realistically hope for given the pro-Trump electorate in WV. — PolitiTweet.org
