Democrats know 'Build Back Better' will fail

Democrats are not acting like a party that is ready to pass a massive spending package stuffed full of all their most liberal priorities. That’s probably because they know the president’s $1.75 trillion reconciliation wish list is going to fail.

Late last night, Fox News’s Chad Pergram reported that Democratic leadership had finally finished the text of the bill — just hours before they planned to bring it to the House floor for a vote. Technically, they shouldn’t vote on the bill on Friday even if they wanted to because of the House’s “72-hour rule,” which makes sure members have several days to read legislation before they are asked to vote on it, Pergram noted.
