    When did they have leverage?

    After 2020 they had enough to pass it in the house, but couldn’t overcome the 60 vote fillabuster and they couldnt change that because of Manchin and Sinema. 2022 they have enough in the senate but the house will never write such a bill.

      In some of their omnibus spending packages they had leverage.

      I’m not saying they had carte Blanche. But they certainly had leverage.
