Not that I think getting 53 senators is likely but those Cook ratings are several months old, PA has to be considered lean D if not likely D at this point. I'd be very surprised if they flip any more seats on top of that while defending all of seats that they currently hold, though.
So they've done all this, and ultimately they've failed in their messaging anyway.They passed a bill in the House in 2021 to codify Roe. They voted on it in the Senate and got Republicans on the record against it.
They started looking at options to mitigate the decision as soon as the decision leaked.

The Biden administration has been deluged with ideas to help mitigate a Supreme Court ruling expected to overturn abortion rights, but many come with legal risks.www.nytimes.com
If you weren't made aware of those efforts, please consider expanding the sources where you get your news from.
Every Dem being asked about it since the decision was released has blamed Republicans. I don't know what your definition of a plan would be if the decision ultimately was the Supreme Court's responsibility.
Yup. It's also painfully easy for special interest groups to bribe democratic senators and congressmen to vote against their own party's interests...not to mention the best interests of the overwhelming majority of Americans.
Lol nice passive aggressiveness. I get my sources from a variety of places, but yeah thanks for the concern. My issue is with messaging. If you think they are doing well with messaging you're out of your mind. Every interview from the most important people of the party makes them seem ill-prepared and lacking direction. And a lackof awareness is a staple of the party not making the populace aware.They passed a bill in the House in 2021 to codify Roe. They voted on it in the Senate and got Republicans on the record against it.

Let's put the personal attacks for a moment. My criticism of Biden admin does not make me a bad faith troll. We can should be able to discuss the failures of our government on its merits. You posted Trump as an example of a strongman unable to convince Mitch to pass his agenda/infrastructure bill/whatever. My argument is that you shouldn't look to Trump as any standard because he is so incapable of anything constructive whatsoever. Just because Trump was a fail does not mean every president is a fail on that regard. Biden absolutely can talk to his majority leader and make a case for a filibuster carveout. In fact, Schumer already hinted he is in favor of that! So Biden just needs to come around.
Isn't this one of those things where senators can block appointments in their home state indefinitely?
There was no personal attacks in my post, and I'm sorry if you misinterpreted it as such. I genuinely like your posts and ability to bring an insightful perspective onto the overlooked aspects of many of the administration's shortcomings.
I mean I think we are just talking about different things here. It's clear they've known about the potential of overthrowing Roe v Wade and have done things to try to mitigate that damage. My whole point comes back to how they don't seem to be doing much to energize their base by reminding them of what has been done once the ruling officially came down, and who is to blame. Yes, they've done things in the past, but there is no unified front since it was overthrown.
Maybe it was part of the deal to get the paltry gun restrictions passed?
Yeah let's not hope that. I get the impulse, but that situation is how we got to where we are.
And now you see the trick.
