Summer Lee and Squirrel Hill attorney Steve Irwin to fill Pennsylvania’s redrawn 12th Congressional District was too close to call early Wednesday in a race that highlighted growing fracture between the county’s party establishment and growing progressive wing.

Bernie Sanders running for an Ohio seat, instead endorsing incumbent Rep. Shontel Brown. Nina Turner, who ran unsuccessfully against Brown in a 2021 special election for Ohio's 11th District in the Cleveland area, did not get the seal of approval from the progressive coalition. Instead, it stuck with convention to endorse Brown, a member of the caucus. Sanders, also a member of the caucus, endorsed Turner on Wednesday." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksApril 14

Senator Kyrsten Sinema, in cahoots with Joe Manchin, has made the Build Back Better bill's revival plan nearly impossible to carry out. John Iadarola and Brett Erlich break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Scoop: Sinema throws cold water on Build Back Better revival - https://www.axios.com/sinema-gives-last-rites-to-bbb-6c830312-2cf3-4b90-9665-2b2e22cde08b.html "Last year, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) publicly sounded the death knell for President Biden's Build Back Better agenda. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), his fellow holdout, is privately concurring, Axios has learned. Why it matters: In closed-door conversations, Sinema has told donors a path to revival is unlikely. That's dampened expectations Congress will act on a slimmed-down bill before Memorial Day. It also means any revived BBB legislation faces an arduous route back to the center of the Senate agenda." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksApril 6
