Moderate Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema confirmed they have no intention of ending or modifying the legislative filibuster rule this week; effectively killing Joe Biden’s proposed election reform law.

“I will not vote to eliminate or weaken the filibuster,” Manchin said in a statement.
“Throughout the last decade or more, there has been broad bipartisan support for protecting the filibuster, including current and former members of the Senate,” Manchin noted.
“Allowing one party to exert complete control in the Senate with only a simple majority will only pour fuel onto the fire of political whiplash and dysfunction that is tearing this nation apart – especially when one party controls both Congress and the White House,” Manchin continued. “As such, and as I have said many times before, I will not vote to eliminate or weaken the filibuster.”
“Ending the filibuster would be the easy way out,” he concluded.

It takes real strength to stand up against the minions of Pelosi and Schumer.
Congratulations to Manchin and Sinema It is NOT abt making me happy per se (though it does) it is about protecting the rights and the stopgaps of politics. Both ideological extremists are diminishing the rights of Americans. MY question is WHY Pelosi and Schumer (Biden) seek to destroy the process of Americans at every turn.
Joe Manchin is a man of honor and integrity; a real patriot who loves our country and stands up for our Constitution.
God Bless You Manchin
Keep standing up for good
thank you Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema for protecting America from a socialist takeover . I my family and America thanks you.
