Manchin -- who had previously expressed reservations about moving forward with a far-reaching measure without bipartisan support -- suggested instead using the John Lewis Voting Rights Act as the path forward.
Jim Clyburn and Sen. Raphael Warnock, both of whom have fought to pass the For the People's Act.The West Virginia Democrat's proposal Wednesday comes ahead of a Democratic-wide conference meeting on the For the People Act scheduled for Thursday.The legislation, a version of which passed the House earlier this year, would mandate 15 days of early voting, allow same-day voter registration and limit states' ability to curb mail-in voting and the use of ballot boxes.
I’m calling up all of my friends in West Virginia and have them to vote Joe ashole repubublican out of office.
If you are ForThePeople then you should side with Republicans and VoterID, because States have variable methods for ID. In NJ, they compare our registered signature!
This guy sucks
All Manchin cares about is getting re-elected in his red state.
This one is a fox in sheep’s clothing! Not a true dem
He is really starting to annoy me. He is a fickled old goat with too much power & influence. So he's not backing the 'For The People Act' huh? Hmm...perhaps ChrisCuomo CuomoPrimeTime should ask him why..... 🤔🤨
Probably the only Democrat with any sense!
He might as well switch parties.
Idiot
How convenient you left out the key components that are of real concern and the cornerstone of the rejection of this bill.... No Voter ID checks, Public Funding of campaigns, DC state hood, restricting states from cleaning voter rolls, and centralizing judicial oversight to DC.
He has to go 😡😡
hes a russian.
Kick him out of the party and let him run as a republican. We will make up for the loss in 2022. Sick of him hijacking the party for his Republican friends
The way correct vote more democrats in the Senate in 2022 that would limit what manchin can do. This will take his power away from him.
Can anyone name one program of the Biden administration that Joe Manchin supported without being dragged screaming and kicking? The man is just milking the attention he's getting from the Biden administration. He's loving it. Nothing altruistic about his resistance.
Mitch McConnell privately assures GOP that Kyrsten Sinema will kill Biden’s tax hike.
What is this guy’s problem?
But he will support the John Lewis Voting Rights Act which is much more important. Why don't you include that, CNN?
And we found the DINO in the Senate.
What the heck is it with this guy? Does he want to switch parties life that other clown did? I cannot believe not vote for an act that would suppress voter suppression.
Desperately hanging on the ledge of his importance. Better voting access means more Dem reps and less power for Manchin - simple as that.
Why does Manchin call himself a Democrat? I suppose his next move will be to go to Florida to kiss the onion ring.
heee heee heee
Excellent. False description re: Republicans restricting voter access.
Fkg worthless.
GOP in Democrat clothing?
He's really a teabagger. Always was.
Joe Manchin is in the most enviable position in the Senate. Every time he says No he will be dealt a windfall for himself and West Virginia.
Sen_JoeManchin needs to either start backing up his party or go! Why do we always have to worry about his vote? He needs to either go to the dark side or start doing his job...so sick of his nonsense! Sinema too!
Say it with me: Joe Manchin is a Republican! Period! Full stop! Case closed!
Why doesn’t Senator Joe Manchin simply go over to the Republican’s side? He’s obviously not a Democratic and in turn, so unhelpful to his party. Wth? foxandfriends GOPLeader MeghanMcCain FoxNews CBSNews NBCNews ABC TheLeadCNN

He sucks
this guy should be a Republican. what a disgrace
Mole
He’s a joke to the party. Why doesn’t he just roll over to the other side already because you ain’t no Dem. Foolio!!!
Not surprised - might as well be a repub.
You need to revise this tweet; I'm no Manchin fan but he is willing to support the John Lewis Voting Rights Act which is better than nothing. Or so says the full article.
Voter ID ?
Piece of turf
Joe Manchin is just like his daughter the daughter that works for the company that makes EpiPen. The Daughter that makes well over $100 million a year well people die because they can't afford $350 I was talking 1 breath a minute doc. Said i was 1 to 1 1/2 minutes from dieing
When asked for comment, Manchin said, “Look at me! Look at me!”
Why not?!
It’s all an act, or he’s being paid off. Money talks and makes the best of us evil. Joe Manchin isn’t in it for the policy, and it’s all about the attention this old lonely fart receives.
JoeManchinWV is a coward.
Pathetic
Vote him or kick him out and elect a real Democrat. Enough with him already. If he has children, I'm sure they're embarrassed and if he's married may his wife leave him (but only if he loves her).
