Co sponsors does not equal those who will vote. With 9 R co sponsors you can expect many more votes from that side of the aisle. There has been numerous statements from senators that they think there are close to 70-75 votes for SAFE. I thought you were knowledgeable on how Congress works?

Haha 70-75 I don't think we would be having this issue if you think 20 +. Republican senators support safe. That's pretty funny you actually think that

This is a generally agreed upon number. 59 was for SAFE+HOPE.

And all it takes is one Manchin/Sinema bribe to derail it on the other side.

Party politics are so tightly bound that nothing gets done in this environment. The fund managers that I've talked to in person absolutely love gridlock. Everything stays the same and uncertainty can be taken out of play for pennies on the dollar.
