Manchin flexes muscle in 50-50 Senate
By Alexander Bolton - 02/24/21 06:00 AM EST

Centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is the most pivotal vote in the evenly divided Senate, and his power could spark prolonged intraparty feuds among Democrats.

Concerned about simmering friction, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday strongly urged his Democratic caucus to unify around a pending $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package.

Manchin appears to have derailed President Biden’s nominee to head the White House budget office, Neera Tanden, by announcing last week that he would vote against her because of sharp criticisms she leveled on Twitter against Senate colleagues. In a 50-50 Senate, Tanden now needs the backing of at least one Republican, and perhaps more, which appears unlikely.

He's showing Biden his power so he can get something out of him.Right now, he's the most important Senator in recent history and he knows it. I'm sure he has his price. You'll see West Virginia's highways coated with gold before long.

BS.  He's a reliable Rat vote who only votes against the lockstep when he's assured a RINO will cancel out his vote.

I never said he wasn't a Dem. vote. I said he'll exact his price first.

And I'm saying it's just an act, to impress the LIVs in WV to get himself reelected.  What price?  Lighten up on the rampant socialism Biteme is throwing out there?  LOL.

Manchin is a phony.  And the people of West Virginia need to wake up about him and end this Democommie's political career.
