Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema remain steadfast in their defense of the filibuster, their offices said, despite public pressure from all the way up to President Biden.
Manchin's office told DailyMail.com that the West Virginia Democrat's position had not changed in light of the president's new comments, and Sinema's office referred DailyMail.com to a statement the Arizona Democrat made after the leaked Supreme Court decision: 'Protections in the Senate safeguarding against the erosion of women's access to health care have been used half-a-dozen times in the past ten years, and are more important now than ever.'
In new comments during a press conference in Madrid on Thursdsay Biden said he would back an exception to the filibuster to pass federal abortion legislation and blasted the Supreme Court's 'outrageous' repealing of Roe v. Wade.
Speaking to reporters at the end of a NATO summit in Madrid, Spain, he condemned the ruling and its impact.

EXCLUSIVE: Joe Biden considered REPUBLICAN Ohio governor John Kasich as his running mate in 2020 after son Hunter and top donor and Walmart chairman Greg Penner devised plan for a bipartisan ticket to ‘repair’ divided nation
Libs are having a tough week lol.
Tell Biden to just go fall off a bike.
The Supremes would strike the bogus law down anyway, since it would be unconstitutional!!!!
That surprise me I thought Kyrsten Sinema would flip for this
Clearly, you are not a liberal. You think too narrowly.
I suspect it would be like the 55 MPG Speed Limit and 21 year old Drinking Age....tied to federal funding. States that ban abortions would get cut off from federal Medicaid funding and states that allow abortions would receive federal Medicaid funding.
John Kasich = Stupid RINO POS!!!! Son of a Mailman. Maybe the Milkman should have gotten there first.
WV joe also said BBBB would never happen. I suppose that’s until the check clears eh?
This is how all of this is playing with insane libs

Tim and Alayna, I didn’t want to come this conclusion. Manchin and Sinema put their ambition ahead of Black survival, with their support of the filibuster.”
Next January the GOP will have a majority in the Senate. If the Dems did away with the filibuster, Schmuky Schumer would be crying in his beer...again, in February.
The Biden/Schumer senate is dead in the water with or without Mancin/Sinema. Leahy is out of commission for a good long while and can’t vote by proxy.
He’ll never cast another deciding vote, or any vote at all if broken hip doesn’t heal.
Sinema has some foresight—unlike the other idiots. Rs will have access to a broken filibuster in a few short months.
Yeah but we have defectors on our side.
and....... Lehey is out of action.
For at least the rest of the summer, democrats don’t control the Senate

Should scare the crap out people..................
The dems and republicans are both so far to the left that Kristin Sinema is now considered a “moderate”. 2020s USA, aint it grand?
They have had 50 years to bring this to the Congress to Codify, why didn’t they?
I say bring a bill up, lets see what happens.
I don’t think so. If it were like those in Europe then it might pass muster.
Leahy is a no show for a while. Senate votes must be in chamber...in person.
