Until Democrats can elect a few more Dem Senators that will stand with our leaders & the President, Manchin is all we have that gives us the Senate majority.
Imagine if we didn't have that.

Manchin has a 100% voting record with Biden.
I hope the Dem Party never loses his Senate seat. Anyone looking to primary him certainly hands that seat to the Republicans.

I hope people remember that when pissin on him to build a primary run against him.

Manchin knows his State. And what it takes to hold that Senate seat.
It's a lucrative one for the Republicans in 2022. They'd have no problem winning it either.

Maybe try to improve the odds by electing a few more Dem Senators so Manchin no longer holds the sole power.

He's also concerned, except at the end of the day he votes with Democrats.
