Joe Manchin, 73, won't accept a simple majority rule in the Senate, threatening in a Monday clip to block Joe Biden's next massive legislative overhaul if Democrats don't allow Republicans a seat at the negotiating table.
The centrist West Virginia Democratic senator told 'Axios on HBO' in an interview clip released Monday that he will demand the GOP have a bigger voice on Biden's climate and infrastructure package – which could reach an outstanding $4 trillion – than they had on COVID stimulus.
'I'm not going to do it through reconciliation,' Manchin told Axios' Mike Allen when speaking of the next bill. 'I am not going to get on a bill that cuts them out completely before we start.'

I don’t trust that jerk as far as I can throw him. He’s enjoying this......
This lying ahole always TALKS, gets the headline for the perpetually duped voters, and then falls in line come vote time.
Money for climate change?????????? When are U.S. voters going to realize that politicians CANNOT control the cycles of the sun?
He behaves like he wants to run for President, you know, a good centrist Democrat.
A stolen election we did not do to ourselves..its the republicans too who did this
He does !
I know people that know Manchin. He is convinced he can do the Clintpn triangulation thing. He’s conviced he can sell himnself to the public as the centrist (Just like clinto was sold to us!) who can unite the radical political divide. In fact since he doesn’t have the harpy wife or the zipper problem (That we know of!)he thinks he can do it better then Clinton. I think he’s delusional ! What worked in 1992 will not work in 2024 ery different times now.
Between it and the Covid bill, that’s $17,000 per person. Man, woman, child. In the USA.
Insanity!!!
Why notjust give everyone $1,000,000?
Not to worry...Collins, Murkowski, and Rommney will provide the votes to the Dems.
