Why aren’t some House Democrats making waves like Manchin and Sinema?

At least five Democratic members of Congress could bolster their own political standing and do the country a favor by becoming as prominent in Washington’s spending debates as Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.

West Virginia’s Manchin and Arizona’s Sinema, both Democrats, are treated by their colleagues and the media as the sole obstacles to passing a version of President Joe Biden’s massive “Build Back Better” spending plan. But the five House members hold just as much power over the package, with just as much political reason to be wary of it.
