Here are some of the Democrats most at risk if they vote for the bill.
Mark Kelly — Arizona
Kelly represents the same voters that Sinema does, and his head-to-head polling numbers are not promising. Early polls have Kelly leading between 4 and 9 points, never breaking above 44% of the vote. Arizona is considered a battleground state for 2022. Without Trump on the ticket, the winner of the crowded GOP primary has a great shot at victory. Kelly’s "aye" vote might be the nail in his coffin.
Catherine Cortez Masto — Nevada
Nevada is another state that Biden won in 2020 but is now considered a toss-up state. Cortez Masto edged out Republican Joe Heck in 2016 by a mere 2.4 percentage points and is currently leading in polling by 5 points. Neither of these numbers are impressive enough if Nevada has Virginia or New Jersey-esque swings in 2022. While Democrats do outnumber Republicans in registered voters, it is by a small enough number that the independents are in control of this race.
Maggie Hassan — New Hampshire
Hassan is facing a tough campaign, with early polling showing her trailing Gov. Chris Sununu, who was rumored to get into the race. To Hassan’s relief, Sununu decided to run for reelection as governor, so the GOP needs to find a suitable replacement. Nevertheless, Hassan has an atrocious 33% approval rating and only won her election in 2016 by 0.1 percentage points.

Repeal the 17th, and we’d have a Republican majority in the Senate. Easy.
With the 17th repealed, easy. To repeal the 17th, not that easy.
The problem for the Dems is if they vote against it then the far left will fund primary challenges against them and if they make it through the primaries the far left will refuse to fund their general elections.
On the other hand, if they vote for it then the far left will fund them in the primaries and general election and if they lose to a Republican will guarantee them nice cushy talking head jobs on MSNBC or CNN.
Building back better is exactly what we were doing during Trump’s years, prior to the Communist Chinese bio weapons attack and the following fraudulent election.
The rats ruined it in less than a year.
This really should be called “Build Back Bullsh#t.”
That’s what I call it.
Most of the House Dems who would be ‘damaged’ by a BBB thumbs up vote have already announced their retirement.
The Houae? The article was about the senate vote.
At this time it would seem unlikely for 3/4 of the states to agree.
The announced retirements are on the House-side. But the point is that the Democrats are all-in on Build Back Better as evidenced by the fact that the votes are going forward even at the expense of the careers of Democrat office-holders. They ‘expect’ to lose as a result so many of them won’t even run for re-election.
