minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year ago It depends on who he is caucusing with in 2024. Depends on the issue, I suppose. If it’s progressive policy, he’ll continue to caucus with Republicans. And centrists will continue to support him, it seems.
minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-21 year ago Right now, even though Manchin doesn’t always vote for Democrat bills, he does vote to make Democrats the majority party in the Senate. We’ll see if he continues to do so. I don’t want to hear any whining from centrists if he does change parties. Progressives told you who he was.
minus-squareTelodzrum@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThat’s just a 50-50 with VP Harris breaking ties again (it’s really 48+1+1 vs 50 because of Sanders and Sinema, but that’s only a little important).
