Joe Manchin now starring in the role of Sisyphus

Hugo Lowell @hugolowell
New: Senate Dem voting rights bill — the Freedom to Vote Act — is presently not expected to move this week as Manchin continues to seek Republicans to join the bill, per source familiar.

I don't think Manchin ever had any intention of voting for this bill or bringing it up for a vote.

to do whatever it takes to keep himself the center of attention. What an unfortunate trait to share with TFG.
