'Find 50 Democratic Votes'

How is that a threat? Don't they have 50 votes in the Senate?

Maybe Cocaine Mitch knows how Manchin or Sinema would vote already?

[Eleutheria5]

But they need ten Republicans to get closure and have a vote.

The midterms are coming up. It’s all about timing. If every Democrat votes to raise the limit and zero GOP-er’s vote to raise the limit, then the GOP has a significant argument that they’re the party of fiscal responsibility and the Democrats are trying to bury (let’s see, our great, great, great, great?) grandchildren in debt. I suspect, though, it’ll be a “bipartisan” effort, as Congress has NEVER refused to raise the debt limit. The GOP tried once, and it cost them dearly in the next election.

You would think that McConnell would know that.

[Brilliant]

Yes. He just wants them to be forced to find them.
