'They're Going to Lose,' Says Sanders as Corporations Mobilize Against $3.5T Bill

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : But Sanders -- who has characterized the reconciliation bill as potentially the most consequential legislation since the New Deal -- said in an interview last week that $3.5 trillion is "the minimum of what we should be spending."
50% : The range of big-name corporations involved in the campaign -- from the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer to the fossil fuel behemoth ExxonMobil -- reflects the potentially far-reaching scope of the nascent reconciliation bill, which could allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices, reverse former President Donald Trump's corporate tax cut, institute paid family and medical leave, strengthen workers' rights, and establish a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants.
42% : Sen. Bernie Sanders has expressed confidence that congressional Democrats will be able to overcome an aggressive corporate lobbying campaign against their popular $3.5 trillion reconciliation proposal, which special interests are aiming to strip of climate investments, Medicare expansion, taxes on big businesses, and other key progressive priorities.
