For that to matter next year, the Democrats also need to keep their majority in the House. The point seems to be that it doesn't look too good given the poll numbers, so we've got to keep pressure up on Manchin to support Biden's program now and hope against hope he listens, as that may be our last chance to get anything going on the progress we need. I do think BBBBB has to pass if we are to avoid a bad economy now. The end of neoliberalism is needed, and if it happened the economy would do well in the 2020s. If not, then the pressures of inflation and sanctions could drive us into a recession.
