Pelosi: 'I don't give up on Joe Manchin'
By Mychael Schnell - 06/13/21 10:00 AM EDT

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday said she doesn’t “give up on [Sen.] Joe Manchin [D-W.Va.],” after the senator announced last week that he will vote against a sweeping bill to overhaul elections, putting the future of the legislation in question in the evenly-split Senate.

“I don't give up on Joe Manchin. When he was governor and Secretary of State in West Virginia he initiated many of the initial ideas that are in the HR 1, S.1, the For the People Act,” Pelosi told host Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Manchin, in an op-ed last week, announced that he would vote against the For the People Act, likely torpedoing the legislation in the evenly-split Senate.

Pelosi, however, said she thinks Manchin “left the door open,” and expressed optimism in the Senate’s chances of ultimately passing the legislation.

“I read the op-ed and you read a part of it, I think he left the door open. I think it’s ajar. I’m not giving up,” she said.

“I do know that he has certain concerns about the legislation that we may be able to come to terms on,” she added.

Pelosi also revealed that she has spoken to Manchin about the bill.

What's it to her?  Manchin's a Senator and Chucky's problem.  She won't face the problems that are within her scope, I.E. The "squad."

Joe Manchin votes with the Democommies on any key issue, and he is done in politics.  He knows it too!  The people of West Virginia will jettison him quickly if he does.
