No, Manchin made it very clear that he isn't for that, monetary policy and Judges and Cabinet members can be put thru with 51 votes and Reconciliation, but not Statehood and immigration reform
Exactly. I think Sinema has said no along with Tester as well.
they just need persuasion from Schumer.

Chuck Schumer is not stupid.  Do you honestly think the Democrats would eliminate the filibuster knowing full well that it will come back to bite them the next time they are in the minority?
If Democrats lose the senate in 2022, they should re-instate the filibuster in the lame duck.

So you are not in favor of fairness?  You support one set of rules for the Democrats when they are in control and another set of rules for the Republicans when they are in control?
look at what Republicans did in the lame duck when Democrats flipped the Governorship in states like North Carolina or Wisconsin.
