Voters Support Using Reconciliation To Pass Biden's Plans


President Biden has introduced two plans to make life better for most Americans -- the American Jobs Plan and the American Families Plan. Those plans would rebuild our infrastructure, create jobs, provide for affordable child care, and do some other things to help ordinary Americans.

Unfortunately, Mitch McConnell has declared both plans to be dead in the Senate. He has urged his party members to vote against any effort to cut off the filibuster on both plans. But if he thinks that is earning his party the support of the general public, he is very wrong.

The public knows it is the Republicans holding up both plans, and they support Democrats using the reconciliation process to pass the plans without Republican help. 56% of voters would support that while only 34% oppose it.

The Data for Progress Poll questioned 1,175 likely voters between June 11th to 15th, and their poll had a 3 point margin of error.
