Democrat Midterm Chief: ‘Build Back Better’ Agenda No Longer Needed to Win Midterms

Wendell Husebø 11 Mar 2022

Democrat midterm chief Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) on Thursday stated he no longer believes President Joe Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ agenda is needed to win in November.

Asked by NBC News if Democrats need to pass the “Build Back Better” agenda to retain the House majority, the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) said “no.”

Maloney added he believes the midterms will be decided on “whether they [voters] think we’re [Democrats] preachy or empathetic” and “whether they think we have the right priorities.” He also noted Democrats must double efforts to prove to voters that Democrats “care about them” and “share their values.”

Maloney’s Thursday’s comments do not resemble what he told the Washington Post in November before Biden’s agenda was stalled thanks to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).

Fearing the inevitable Virginia gubernatorial defeat at the time, Maloney told the Post Democrats must act quickly to enact the legislation into law because “people” are “angry is we haven’t fixed the problems of the economy and the pandemic,” adding that the Build Back Better agenda is “a real plan to do it.”

“The scale and impact of the plan we are putting in place needs to show up in the family budgets and daily lives of the people we hope to win,” Maloney claimed about the bill he now disregards as imperative.
