Congressional efforts to broker bipartisan legislation are getting a boost from a pair of senators with a proven willingness to work across the aisle.

Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) will serve as honorary co-chairmen of No Labels, a bipartisan group trying to bring lawmakers together to build consensus on critical issues.

The senators will work closely with the House Problem Solvers Caucus, a group of 47 lawmakers split almost evenly between Democrats and Republicans, focusing on bipartisan solutions on major legislative matters facing Congress.

Quote:
The bipartisan caucus has several major legislative efforts in the works, including an expected compromise on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as part of a months-long effort.

I don't know much about her, but I remember her doomed Trump Care twice at the last moment, and she seems to have some common sense on the DACA issue. Let's hope these two can help in driving DA forward...

Distraction.
Manchin voted down Dream Act.

What exactly has this group accomplished? Never heard of it and right-wingers are all for it. Red flag.

True but Collins is a republican though, however, I really thought she was a solid yes at first.

How many efforts are there to fix DACA?

For F's sake, just go with Durbin's bill.
