Biden to host Manchin, Sinema at White House to discuss voting rights
By Morgan Chalfant - 01/13/22 06:42 PM EST

 

President Biden is expected to meet with Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) on Thursday evening about voting rights as the president looks to find a path forward to passing legislation.   

“The President will host Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema at the White House this evening to discuss voting rights,” the White House said. 

The election reform bills are on the brink of failure in the Senate unless Biden can convince the senators’ to throw their support behind altering the filibuster to overcome GOP opposition. 


The closed-door meeting comes hours after Biden went to Capitol Hill to attend a Senate Democratic caucus lunch to discuss the voting rights bills, which have been stalled in the Senate amid Republican opposition. 

Biden is trying to change both senators’ minds on altering the legislative filibuster, the 60-vote threshold required to advance most legislation, in order to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. 

However, Manchin and Sinema, centrist Democrats, both reiterated their opposition to eliminating or weakening the filibuster earlier Thursday and it’s unclear what Biden could say to alter their positions.

I think members from both sides of the aisle have already lined their pockets. I'd be going into the meeting with the audio recorder on my phone on.

And Sinema's base support is weak enough that it might come down to caving vs. political self preservation.  This thing isn't over yet.

That quote confuses me.  Does it mean it's OK to sell out to the second highest bidder?

I think it means there are few men who won't sell out when the price gets right. And history shows that to be true.
