My theory is that democrats want to get this infrastructure deal off the table so that the Beltway media will begrudgingly give them points for genuflecting at the altar of bipartisanship. So, they don’t want to push too hard on HR 1 in the meantime so it doesn’t jeopardize the infrastructure deal. The optimistic side of me says that once that deal is brought over the finish line, they’ll push harder on voting rights.

At least, I hope that’s what their strategy is, because nothing else makes sense.

Clyburn is the House whip. He has no ability to pressure senators.
