And, there’s probably more to the story.
============
During a blockbuster interview, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin didn’t mince words.
Manchin said he wanted to “reduce Americans anxiety” about the possibility of the Dems taking control of the Senate.
He said clearly and definitively that, as a tie-blocking vote, he’d vote NO on “crazy things” like ending the filibuster, court packing, defunding the police and the Green New Deal..
Note: He didn’t mention statehood for DC and P.R., but it’s fair to assume that he’d lump that among the crazy things.
This is the single most refreshing statement I’ve heard from a politician in years.
The entire interview is well worth the listening time.
