"The Democratic party by 80%, have given Sinema an ultimatum, get with the party or else."

Or else what? Or else she'll become an I or R, and vote to make Mitch the majority leader for the next 15 months? Or else they will primary her with a progressive, and the seat becomes Republican again?

"Biden has been pushing for the 3.5 trillion package"
Biden has said he'll go lower....

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said President Biden urged a group of moderate lawmakers to come up with a top-line number they could support for Democrats' sweeping reconciliation bill.

Manchin, a key vote in the Senate, was part of a group of House and Senate moderates who met with Biden on Wednesday afternoon as Democrats try to figure out a way to bridge their divides on the $3.5 trillion package.

“He just basically said find a number you’re comfortable with,” Manchin said, adding that Biden’s message was to “please just work on it. Give me a number.”

Manchin told reporters that he didn’t give Biden a number he could get behind and that Biden didn’t give him a hard deadline for when moderates needed to turn over that number.
