In op-ed Manchin says he will vote against the For the People Act because it doesn't please the same GOP that supported the attempted coup in January

He’s a Democrat who comes from a very Conservative state, he probably reflects the views of his constituents far better than most.

One would do well to read the entire article; it includes this:
Skeptical members of Manchin’s party have questioned the reasons for his opposition, especially after after a recent poll found that a majority of West Virginia voters support changing the filibuster rules and that 79% of the state’s voters — including a large majority of Republicans — support the For the People Act.

Bernie Sanders would be a better candidate in WV.

Uh oh, is he once again asking for our support?

@gracchus

With a better party leadership, the goal would be to reduce his influence one way or another.

Time to put the full-court press on Pat Toomey to retire now.
