From everything I have been able to read, the group of 9 is solid in their voting intents. They think their home town supporters will accept the current Senate infrastructure bill, but will try and vote them out office if they support the potential tax and spend bill from the house that Nancy wants to ram thru under reconciliation. Nancy has a real problem with the group of 9 on one side and the squad on the other who is demanding that both bills are voted up or down together. she knows she has roughly 200 yes votes from the sheep, but that is not enough, and if the 9 do not vote her way that leaves 209, or if the squad and friends do not vote her way that leaves about 200 sheep votes.
I know we can not believe any thing sleepy says, but he has been quoted several times that he would not sign separate bills, claiming they both had to arrive on his desk together to get his signature.
100% of the other side of the aisle will vote no, so she is up a creek and flailing about unless she can keep 100% of the vote in her favor.
