In reply to the discussion: Kamala Harris Could Deliver $15 Minimum Wage If Democrats Really Wanted It [View all]BlueLucy
(1,609 posts)53. No they will not
Manchin is already pissed about being pushed. Why would we kill the filibuster for a bill we don't have 50 votes on? Manchin would likely have a meeting with Mitch McConnell, cut a deal, become a repuke and we lose the Senate.

No she couldn't. We won't have 50 votes for the covid relief bill with the $15 minimum wage in it.

I think it would be an issue with the press, and in their eyes Biden, Harris, and Schumer

We could have a $15 minimum wage if even a handful of fucking Republicans would vote for it.

Manchin and Simena could stall the bill until the minimum wage was removed no matter what

Sorry, but Harris would be facing the exact same issue that Biden is, probably worse.

This narrative was designed by the alt-left on social media to scapegoat Kamala.
