The extreme wings of both parties voted against the bill. Namely, the black caucus and the conservative Republicans. A block of Republicans who are not seeking reelection supported the bill. There was an agreement between the leaders of both parties that they would each deliver around 50% of their members.

As this is an election year, those who supported the bill, for the most part, feel they are in safe districts for reelection.

Yes, the democrats could pass a bill without republican support since they control congress. They could forget compromise and strip out all the Republican demands and pass a bill wilh everythning they want, send it to the President. and then force his hand.
That would be a disaster for this country. Politics is all about compromise.

I would love to see higher FDIC insurance. However, that is again "for the rich". I assume there will need to be an offsetting feature added to appeal the left.

Yes, I am a Democrat but I am an American first.
