Inside the Senate, Dems largely held their fire and urged cooperation. “If we’re going to shut down the Senate and not do anything big between now and next election, we might as well hand the election to the Republicans,” said @ChrisMurphyCT. washingtonpost.com/politics/manch…
Outside the Senate, liberals let it rip. Many aired frustration with Manchin -- and Biden too. @RepMondaire said POTUS "must use the resources available to him to negotiate a deal" with Manchin. “As yet, this president has not risen to the occasion.” washingtonpost.com/politics/manch…

"We may disagree with a colleague strongly one day and count on them the next day to pass a bill. Tomorrow is another day,” sad @SenatorDurbin. washingtonpost.com/politics/manch…
