They know there is no hope of bipartisanship but they are using it as cover because fundamentally they don’t want change either.

ALL he wants to do in stay in power and set him self up for the long run.

So, so selfish.

Biden, Harris, Schumer and DNC Head need to call him in to the Oval Office and read him the riot act. Even if he still doesn't go along, make him feel the pain.

Manchin just needs to switch f'n parties and get it over with!!!
