With more talk about filibuster reform. Would it be possible to pass H.R 1 if they do go through with reshaping it?

The Senate is the problem due to the filibuster. Each chamber passes it's own version and then they must go through reconciliation.

It's going to be a tough fight - but I think the Democratic members in each body will stand tall and take no prisoners.

Even Manchin, Sinema, and Feinstein will eventually get on board with a bit of a push from Leader Schumer and President Joe.

Failure is not an option.
