    Booker Statement on Bipartisan Policing Reform Negotiations

    “We made it clear from the beginning of our negotiations that a bill must ensure true accountability, transparency, and the policing standards necessary to bring an end to horrific incidents of violence Americans are routinely seeing -- like the murder of George Floyd. After months of exhausting every possible pathway to a bipartisan deal, it remains out of reach right now, even after working collaboratively with and securing the support of policing groups like the Fraternal Order of Police and International Association of Chiefs of Police for our proposals.

    “Unfortunately, even with this law enforcement support and further compromises we offered, there was still too wide a gulf with our negotiating partners and we faced significant obstacles to securing a bipartisan deal.

    Utterly meaningless gesture which is exactly what Green partiers like.

    Obama got 60 Senate votes for a bill that massively lowered the uninsured healthcare rate,including multiple votes from Manchin/Senima type Dems.

    Who knows what Biden could have done if he actually tried.I never would have thought Obama could get healthcare votes from Blanche Lincoln,Mark Pryor,Mary Landrieu ,Joe Lieberminn,Ben Nelson etc.

    One has got nothing to do with the another, you totally ignored the point that Booker failed to negotiate the deal.

    You are resorting to Buy1Sell2 level of debate now.

    The only healthcare reform yet to be done is the public option which failed to pass under Obama, to think that Biden could get it done with 49 votes in the Senate is extremely disingenuous.

    Biden had 50 votes.If Biden had gotten every Democrat to vote for healthcare as Obama did he could have gotten a good healthcare bill passed.

    Any healthcare bill would need 60 votes.
    And Obama had to drop public option because of centrist Dems.
    Did Sen. Joe Lieberman just kill the public option?

    Cory Booker blamed Republicans, nice try.

    And police reform is Congressional action like a lot of things which you don't seem to know much about.
