Sen. Manchin is making it clear that he doesn’t want Democrats to advance key items on President Biden’s agenda without Republican votes.

said following an event with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm in Morgantown, West Virginia.

Manchin said he’s not going to bend to pressure from progressive Democrats who want to eliminate the Senate’s filibuster, which requires 60 votes to advance legislation. Manchin also said any voting rights legislation considered by the Senate must be bipartisan to gain his vote, saying that a single-party push for Democratic-sponsored legislation is a “disaster waiting to happen.”over Republican opposition in March, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has promised a vote on the bill after the committee process.

What the F is he talking about? He knows there is not one single republican that will come over to his side. Looks like... NO INFRASTRUCTURE HAPPENING THIS PRESIDENCY EITHER. HOW MANY DECADES CAN WE GO ON BEFORE THERE IS A MAJOR TRAGITY ON A BRIDGE?

Hey reporter’s please talk about the many millions of people who voted for Biden and quit talking about how much trumps supporters influenced our election

Why not just say your a Republican.

ManchinGottaGO Too long a sleeper GOP agent

Too Fn bad!, I really don’t care what he thinks anymore

Already join the cult the Republican party.

Dick.

C'mon Senator! The Senate Republican Leader has stated his objective of stopping any initiative by the Democrats! That leaves us in the same ole deadlock we've been in for two decades! Use the majority you have and jam through a little progress or it will be taken from you!

At what point is it differences in governing GOP TheDemocrats libertarianism philosophies versus our minority obstructionistic or majority bully politricks 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ case & point 1-6 commission

MSNBC We got to vote more Democrats into the Senate to make Manchin and Sinema irrelevant.

And we should care what he wants why? If this had been all Republican controlled, the amount of legislation they would be ramming through would be mind blowing and they wouldn’t care how it happens. Forget him and move forward.

Where was he for the last 4 years. Or, actually 12 years.

Manavhin needs to change parties

When will Manchin finally 'get it'? During the next general election he may wonder why Biden couldn't get anything done, if he waits for bipartisan support from the trumpican party. You don't have to eat the whole turd to realize it's not crabcake!

JoeManchinWV Senator, while I applaud your efforts to promote bipartisanship, at what point do you & JoeBiden throw in the towel, acknowledging that your colleagues across the aisle aren’t negotiating in good faith. Their subservience to mitch & whatshisname is total …

Everyone’s day will come. Be patient. POTUS agenda will move forward.

What did you expect White man from West Virginia. He really doesn’t care about democracy either he knows he’ll be alright regardless.

They are not going to help us do the right thing

MSNBC Manchin Get it, Manchin, minority 'input' is 0 support for any bill, GOPQ rejected US safety by opposing Jan 6 attack investigation. You are working hard to make sure Dems do become 'minority party' 2022 if you don't move a finger to kill filibuster?

I’m so done with politics. Why be a Democrat if you like Republican ideology?

Why

Fucking DINO.

What can be done about his phony politics?

what choice do they have? votes matter.

DINO?

“Who run Bartertown?” Senator Manchin run Bartertown.

Oh and Sen_JoeManchin absolutely take note of LeaderMcConnell considerable efforts to reach across the aisle fact fridaymorning GOPCorruptionOverCountry

If Manchin is just saying No then why the hell is he a democrat. If he was like okay lets compromise fine but saying No & agreeing with Republicans 99.9% just shows he's a republican in blue

This man is: 1) delusional; 2) stupid; 3) both

Many things was expected and wanted from the previous administration also but that was a case of running into a wall so don’t expect anything different Sen_JoeManchin RepublicanCommunistParty

Make it clear to Senator Manchhin that it's time to man up an put the nation and his own people ahead of his need guard his seat. If the country does well, he'll do well.

Manchin is the most powerful Republican in the senate right now 🙄

So his principle is to be a do-nothing.

Sen_JoeManchin 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 you’re literal trash

Figure it out without his vote!!!! Don't let Republicans dictate the laws!!!

Then we will never get anything done.

Sen_JoeManchin is a MOLE

Manchin wants to continue to act like a Republican because it's the only way to stay in office in a pro-Trump state. That simple. EndTheDuopoly

They R NOT GONNA HELP, so y'all do it by YOURSELVES!!🤔🤔🏛

Idiot

Hey Sen Munchkin, I speak for many of us:

Don’t care what Sen_JoeManchin wants. Tired of the country being held hostage for somebody’s political career. Our democracy, economy and way of life is at stake. SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi POTUS Get it done.

MSNBC He made it clear that he doesn't represent democrats!

No one does, that’s why they are supposed to WORK TOGETHER. Why is this so difficult?

At this point it is binary: pass stuff without Republican votes (will require altering filibuster) OR don't pass anything at all because Republicans will shoot it down. Ruthlessly clear at this point.

MSNBC It’s sickening to hear Manchin attempts to explain his warped reasoning. Dude your in or your out! History will not be kind to you.

He will come around he knows that he can't survive reelection without HR1 we need to pressure him and Sinema to budge on the filibuster and not let them off the hook

Check out his daughter’s bio.

Manchin is a spy planted by the Republicans to obstruct the Democratic agenda. He’s not a Democrat.

Democrat in west Virginia should vote him out his another one in denial just like his friends the trumpleken

Why don't his constituents go to his house and kick his ass! I am sure they have that power! Wants to keep them poor while he rakes it in !

Sen Manchin is seeing Republicans ? He needs to get his eye's checked.

MSNBC Why is Manchin so concerned about Republican votes when those very Republicans are doing an “in your face” crushing of Democrats and Democracy at every turn?! Who’s this guy really working for?!

It's funny that Sen_JoeManchin is forcing Democrats to compromise with Republicans. He isn't really a Democrat. You never really know whose side he's on. Considering that West Virginia is among the poorest states in the country, he 'should' want to help his constituents.

MSNBC He should be trying to make that connection with Republicans instead of looking for divides with Democrats if he wants bipartisanship why doesn’t he work harder at it

It’s time for this Demopublican to go

Joe Manchin, famous for caring only about what will get him re-elected and not about what's good for America.

MSNBC Sen. Manchin is ushering in the end of democracy in the US.

The man is a fool.

And by 'Republican votes' Manchin means his own.

MSNBC Manchin is Democrat in name only

MSNBC Then he needs to list ten persuadable republicans. There are maybe three.

Bipartisanship is always the goal. However, you have to read the room. It’s been dead with the GQP for decades now. Time to move forward for a change, and leave those morons to eat each other.

MSNBC That asshole is not a Democrat!!

It is unbelievable that this sickening guy doesn't get it YET!! The rePUKElicans have ALREADY SAID and DEMONSTRATED they're not agreeing to ANYTHING! What is your true issue Sen_JoeManchin ?

If he votes that makes at least his vote a Republican vote, doesn't it? He doesn't care about Democracy just like them.

MSNBC That's not what 81 million Americans want. Stop obstructing

Joe Manchin calls for second vote on 1/6 commission, but holds fast on filibusterSen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) on Thursday argued that Democrats would only 'need three more' Republicans to join them in order to pass legislation that would form a bipartisan commission to investigate the violent storming of the Capitol on January 6. Manchin isn't budging. Trump won WVa by 40%. Yes, do it! Is Joe Manchin dreaming and naive to hope that enough Republicans will reach across the aisle in goodwill? This is urgent that we take action on the filibuster to save our democracy.
