"Those House moderates were also in contact with their Senate counterparts after spending weeks working together on the bipartisan infrastructure deal. One of those centrist senators, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), officially ruled out negotiating with Pelosi in a Monday statement. Sinema's spokesperson said the bipartisan bill "should be considered on its own merits" and that she will not budge in her opposition to a $3.5 trillion spending bill.

Manchin, meanwhile, urged the House to "put politics aside" and vote on infrastructure "swiftly."

"It would send a terrible message to the American people if this bipartisan bill is held hostage," Manchin said in a statement Monday.

Some House moderates, such as Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.), have also blasted any bill with a price tag of $3.5 trillion."

Too bad McConnell's GOP can't make the same claim.

9 moderates? There are only 9 moderates in the democratic party? Maybe it's 9 moderates that have the balls to stand up to Pelosi and the progressives. I think there are a number of democrats who deserve to lose their jobs in November 2022.

9 moderates totally owned by and inhibited out of fear for the other 232 radicals in Congress there.
