Description
Frustration with Chuck Schumer leadership strategy is privately
simmering among some Hill Democrats.
We talked to a half-dozen senior Democratic staffers in both chambers
Monday night and heard a variation of the same complaint from each of
them: that Schumer’s ploy to isolate Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and
Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) on Build Back Better and then voting rights has
only set the party back in achieving its goals.

Nov. 19, 2021: After months of wrangling, what’s another few hours?: If a “New York minute” is a few passing seconds, then the opposite is a “McCarthy minute” — something that drags on and on for hours. On Thursday night, at 8:38 p.m., House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy took to the House floor with a speech designed to delay Democrats’ passage of the Build Back Better package. This morning, at 5:10 a.m., some 8 hours and 32 minutes later, he finally stopped talking. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
