Joe Manchin is standing behind his ledge to oppose getting rid of the filibuster. He is also opposed to HR 1.

I just hope he remains strong.

I hope he does, too. 

They always stand strong until right after they announce their opposition to a Democrat piece of legislation then quickly succumb by means of bribery, blackmail or the glare of Shluck Choomer.

Yep, Dims are notorious for pulling this shit, while they wait for the best offer, then flip.
I hope Manchin sees the writing on the wall that the Dim party already collapsed.

That's odd... Manchin usually tries to pretend to care about his state when he's up for re-election.  I think he's up in 2024.

Yep. But will the DNC still be around?

Why is it no one is asking the obvious question? The party imploded long ago, had it not, they wouldn't have resorted to so blatantly stealing an election.
It's over for them.

One interesting thought about this subject. Notice how silent Schumer is about this? He would normally be out front ranting, but so far nothing.

The reason is Manchin is holding him by the nuts. If he puts too much pressure on Manchin he could easily switch to the GOP and secure his position for life in WV. I would bet the ranch on McConnell having promised Manchin full seniority privileges as a member of the GOP.

My guess  is  Manchin wants to run for  governor. Thats why he  is doing this.

Interesting observation.

Right on cue, a clown congressman from NY just played the race card on Manchin.

A word from Clay Travis. Manchin is  now a white supremacist.
