The possible negative results for Democrats has the far-left and more temperate members of the party resorting to slippery rhetoric to dodge being seen as \u201cobstructionists.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cClearly, showing that we can make progress would have been nice,\u201d Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) complained to <em>Politico<\/em> about Biden\u2019s stalled legislative push.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) also agreed with his fellow commonwealth senator.&nbsp;\u201cI wish they would have, and I\u2019m just being really selfish,\u201d Kaine said. \u201cIt would have been helpful in Virginia to have these bills done in mid-October instead of mid-November.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) blamed the far-left for not passing any legislation that could have helped McAuliffe. \u201cWe haven\u2019t gotten anything done. That says enough about their strategy,\u201d he stated about the radical left.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Tester also admitted Sen.

They\u2019ve all been about other things,\u201d Jayapal told reporters, acknowledging the Virginia race was more about state issues than far-left priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Jayapal is one of many far-left members to have blocked the $1.2 trillion bipartisan vote on Thursday. After Manchin\u2019s comments on Monday, however, she changed her position and now supports passing the infrastructure measure this week.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cA lot has changed since last week. We said last week that we need text. We got text,\u201d Jayapal said Monday.<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reportedly told Democrats Monday evening she thought the Thursday vote \u201cwas a missed opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought we looked terrible, and we need to make good on this,\u201d she reportedly said.<\/p>\n<p>House Budget Chair John Yarmuth (D-KY) reportedly told Pelosi on Monday the party needs to hold a vote on the \u201cbipartisan\u201d bill as soon as possible.&nbsp;\u201cI think we need to move. I think every day we delay plays into Joe Manchin\u2019s theatrics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But with the Virginia race closing on Democrats, it may be too late to pass legislation and appear to not be an&nbsp;obstructionist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything has an impact on everything,\u201d admitted Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) \u201cI think at the end of the day, what happens in Virginia is what the candidate stands for, the nature of the campaign, the degree to which the candidate is resonating with the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Wendell Huseb\u00f8 on Twitter&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WendellHusebo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\"><em>@WendellHuseb\u00f8<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congressional Democrats are refusing to accept blame for President Joe Biden\u2019s stalled agenda while Democrat\u00a0candidate Terry McAuliffe\u2019s campaign has stumbled to the finish line ahead of Tuesday\u2019s election.
