It is the general consensus right now that Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) is now the most powerful man in Washington, D.C.
Forget the committee heads and party leadership on both sides, Manchin holds the trump card, so to speak.
Manchin Slams Biden Advisers
Manchin is a Democrat, but he can ill afford to vote party lines due to the makeup of his constituent base.
So, don’t expect him to vote down party lines on extreme legislation.
Manchin has shown that will not be the case, as he was recently only one of two Democrats to vote on post-abortion care for babies that survive the procedure.
His vote will probably kill plenty of legislation for Democrats, but he would prefer Biden work with Republicans instead of signing Executive Orders and actions as well as using reconciliation when possible.
Machin stated, “Biden’s advisers have led him wrong to start out in a strictly partisan direction.
“We should have found something that we could have voted on bipartisan first and then gone down this lane when we hit a roadblock, and they didn’t do that.
“If we go off the rails and there’s no bipartisan [work], you ain’t coming back for two years.”
Manchin is very much right in making that statement, but Democrats are not going to listen and we all know it.
The Party continues to cater to the extremists on the far left when it needs to win moderate voters, something that will not be done when you sign more than 40 EOs in your first two weeks and use reconciliation to pass everything else.
Dems have two years before they get hit with the reckoning and every action they have taken thus far truly leads me to believe a red tsunami is going to hit in 2022.
