....further down:

It appeared to be a veiled reference to Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona,

"appeared", "veiled"

He never actually identified anyone he might have been referring to. He could have been talking about any two of these Senators (from 538's ratings web page) who have voted against his agenda more than most (rank of 50 Democratic caucus members), but we don't know. Note neither Manchin nor Sinema are mentioned (they're both tied for #1!):

Rank / Senator
47 (tie) Kirsten E. Gillibrand
47 (tie) Patty Murray
47 (tie) Chris Van Hollen
50 Bernard Sanders
