Sen. Joe Manchin strikes an agreement to vote yes on Democrats' signature election overhaul bill, though effort will still fall short of advancing

From CNN's Dan MericaFormer President Barack Obama invoked the Jan, 6 insurrection at the Capitol on Monday to advocate for the For the People Act, the voting rights bill that is set to faceObama, during a grassroots conference call for the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, said that the insurrection proved Americans cannot “take our democracy for granted,” arguing the United States could become one of the many countries around the world that were “once vibrant democracies” but...

The former president went on to say that “our own history” should remind Americans about the importance of fighting for democracy, adding that recent attempts to pass restrictive voting laws mean “we are going to have to be vigilant in fighting back attempts by the few to silence the many. And that is why what is happening in the Senate is so important.”

Obama specifically invoked West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin’s name when he spoke about compromise, calling the bill a group of “common sense reforms” that most Americans agree on.

UtterBullshit

He voted knowing it had no chance of passing.

Now can we get him and Sinema change their minds on the FILLIBUSTER

Because he knew it wouldn't pass! Don't give him credit for this.

Rare nod of respect to CNN here for calling it an 'election overhaul bill' which is more of a down the line objective description, not going with the DNC line of it being a 'voting rights bill' as we see Twitter and ABC News and others running with.

All he wanted was his sorry name in the news

What's in it for Joe?
