Socialist House members are at war with Democrat Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema as President Joe Biden fails to unify his party in order to pass his agenda.
Socialists are vowing to vote against a bipartisan infrastructure bill already passed in the Senate if Manchin doesn't vote for their $3.5 trillion spending monstrosity.
"We have said clearly ... to the speaker that we will not be able to vote for the infrastructure bill until the reconciliation bill has passed," Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal says.https://t.co/eQR8ep3ABz pic.twitter.com/TNW6eIVl9P

During the daily briefing at the White House Thursday afternoon, Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked if Biden has lost control of his party, especially given Democrats control the House, Senate and White House. She explained the disarray as "how democracy works."
