'51 Senators': ABC News Tweet Gets Savaged for Faulty Math on Build Back Better

Media coverage promoting Biden’s Build Back Better agenda has gotten so desperate that news outlets are taking to failing at math in an attempt to guilt trip Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who has expressed reservations about the $1.75 trillion reconciliation spending bill.

While Sen. Manchin and the White House may still be ironing out their negotiations in order to get the moderate Democrat’s support, he is not the only senator opposed to the agenda item. In fact, it’s a total of 51 senators, since no Republican supports the legislation.

Democrats are able to pass the bill through the reconciliation process, which requires only a simple majority since it deals with cost and revenue. That being said, it still must pass with a majority, and in the 50-50 Senate, Democrats can’t afford to lose any members.
