Slaughter, Lee, and Woolsey walkiing back prior threats over Senate bill

[WeDidIt]

As many on the left have pointed out, Dem Rep Louise Slaughter is now calling on Democrats to kill the Senate bill, seemingly a big deal.

But a spokesperson for Slaughter, Vince Morris, confirms she’s not ruling out a vote for the final bill, even if it lacks a public option or other concessions sought by progressives.

“She’s not ruling anything in or out at this point,” Morris tells me. “She is hopeful that we can make the bill better in conference.”

Dem Reps Barbara Lee and Lynn Woolsey are now saying a public option “must” be added in conference. But their statement does not rule out a vote for a final bill without one.
