JUST IN: Joe Manchin Obliterates Democrats' Hopes Of Nuking Filibuster To Pass Voting Bills

Democratic Senator Joe Manchin rejected a push by others in his party to change the chamber's rules on what's called the filibuster to allow a simple majority vote in order to push through a voting-rights package https://reut.rs/3GkQsbW | Reuters

CNN's Michael Smerconish on Sen. Joe Manchin's voting rights compromise: "What is it really all about? To put up a good showing and still lose, so that the public sees the GOP obstruction on yet another major issue like the Jan. 6 commission? Or is it deeper? That this time, it’ll be Joe Manchin's initiative that fails, so he'll experience the result first-hand, perhaps softening him on the filibuster.” https://cnn.it/2UhuCmy | CNN
