Hahahaha. After backstabbing Biden and the Democratic agenda for the past two years, all too often doing the Republicans bidding in the Senate how does McConnell and Republican Party reward him?
They get even more demanding and kind of nasty while doing so. The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has this 30 second ad up called Maserati Manchin putting pressure on his constituency to remind him of West Virginia values which I can only assume means they want him to be even more of an obstruction.
But dragging him for his 700k yacht surely isnt the payback he expected for his service. Couldnt happen to a more deserving guy. Lol

He beats the hell out of having somebody like Lindsey Graham in that seat.

Manchin is well aware that Republicans want his seat.

He served them well but they'd rather have a real Republican in a dark red state.

I wouldnt say life was THAT good when everyone in your own party sees you as an obstructionist and the other party just stuck a knife in your back.
I mean, money isnt everything.

Manchin voted to give Democrats control of the Senate, voted to impeach Trump, and supported almost all Democratic initiatives. He's an actual Democrat; just not as liberal as you'd like.

Do you consider her an actual Democrat as well?

control of the Senate to me.
So much for not bashing leading Democratic figures.
