Steven Benen looks over the list of the “G-10” senators that have approached Biden and Senate Democrats as potential legislative partners and notices one thing: they don’t have particularly moderate or compromise-oriented legislative histories.
“Indeed, that G-10 list reinforces the larger problem of why meaningful, bipartisan deal-making in the Senate is effectively impossible: if you were a member of the Senate Democratic leadership, and you had a choice between passing good bills and making each of these 10 conservative senators happy, you’d embrace the budget reconciliation process with both arms, too.”
