Manchin says no to new round of $2k cheques (update: not quite)

DC Statehood now.

If Manchin won't even support a $2k stimulus, there's zero chance DC statehood is happening.

this presumes every Republican would vote no.  I am not sure that's the case.

LOL what? You think a Republican is going to vote to allow 2 more Dem senators?

He’s going to quickly go from my favorite Senator to my least favorite isn’t he?

At the end of the day, Joe Manchin always toes the party line when he’s needed to.

So yeah he's probably going to go along with it eventually but just wants more pork for WV. With Manchin as the deciding vote on so many things, the next 4 years could see West Virginia transformed from an impoverished backwater of dying mining towns to a land of gleaming skyscrapers and high-speed trains, if Manchin can play his cards right.

2 years. 2022 is likely a 2018 redux (POTUS party gains Senate, loses House)

I really, really hope my boy Chris Sununu is as good at conning gullible Biden voters into supporting him for Senate (and hopefully acting more like a Susan Collins than a Kelly Ayotte) as Manchin is in WV.

I hope he doesn’t run.

I can’t see that happening. Mitch can’t breath properly if he isn’t majority leader
