Why do I have a feeling Biden will have little patience for being jerked around on his cabinet noms? [View all]
when he feels enough time to reach a reasonable resolution has been given, I'm betting he slams the door on those trying to jerk him around. There will not be a big public blowup. He will simply pull the chair out from under them as they're sitting down and then never speak of it again.
Maybe he woos Murkowski by offering her the equivalent federal dollars of whatever it is Manchin is seeking. Then he lets the state of WV know what Manchin just threw down the drain that they could have had.
Maybe he just appoints his picks as Acting and moves on, leaving the malcontents standing around looking foolish.
