Kyrsten Sinema, Ariz., and Joe Manchin, W.Va., the Senate's influential moderates of last year's session, are now in danger. Neither of them has declared a re-election bid. Democrats are eagerly waiting for Manchin's ruling, as he is undoubtedly the only one from their party that will triumph in red West Virginia. Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Ohio, is seeking re-election for his 'toss-up' seat. Sen. Ted Kennedy of Ohio, who is retiring as the retiring GOP senator, was unable to win in 2022. Sen. J.D., a Republican, had Rob Portman replaced him. There's a chance of it.

Proponents of the same-sex marriage bill, which is up for a vote in the Senate in a few weeks, are working overtime to please religious liberation fears, which could thwart the bill, which has won almost 50 House Republicans. To break a filibuster on the Respect for Marriage Act, Democrats must obtain ten Republican votes. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has reverted from a 'yes' to a 'no' this week, leaving them one behind and nowhere near ten percent of the total votes. Sen. Byron: Sen. Neill Davidson used the term "sensuous" to refer to Sen. Bill Clinton. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, has promised to hold a referendum 'in the coming weeks.'

After the House passed the Respect for Marriage Act in July, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said the upper chamber would bring the Respect for Marriage Act in September.

House Democrat claims Biden's student loan plan IGNORES Americans 'getting crushed with inflation'

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 28, 2022
Ryan's remarks appear to be in agreement with Republican-led opposition that has raised concerns about whether blue collar Americans like truck drivers and construction workers should be able to pay student loans for liberal arts majors. However, he's also in accordance with Biden's Democrat critics who claim that the steps fail to address the core issue of out-of-control tuition rates for colleges and universities. Biden advised Americans on the lower end of the income spectrum to succeed Americans on the lower end of the income scale. 'There are a lot of people out there making $30,000, $40,000 a year, and they need to be supported as well,' Ryan said, which is why I've been recommending a tax cut for working people that will impact everybody.' And, as the student loan component, you could very quickly be able to talk to them - renegotiate the interest rates.' That's part of the issue, right? The interest rates in the United States are 9% 10% 12%, which is to blame for the majority of the problem. Giving them the opportunity to renegotiate their terms will put a lot of money in their pocket, and it could also eliminate some of the burden.
