His campaign to force Biden to put pressure on Senate Dems, in order to get the Senate moving on his legislative agenda, did not work.
Schumer held his ground, with Manchin and Sinema giving him cover when they once again said the filibuster should remain. (He used that as an example of Democrats agreeing with him .... )
Of course this is how it should be, if for no other reason than McConnell himself did not entertain anything except simple majority power. Could get interesting for Manchin and Sinema. They may have helped themselves here, but will still need to support a Democratic agenda to be considered Democrats.
They've never not cooperated with the essential Democratic agenda.
