already had a (faux) Democrat switch parties (Jeff Van Drew now (R) NJ-2) I'd rather do more carrots than sticks with Manchin for the time being. Still have nightmares of the '90s when both Richard Shelby and Ben Nighthorse Campbell switched from (D) to (R) in the Senate. If we had a bigger margin, then it might make more sense to dangle (or take away) Chairmanships. But because we only hold the majority (and now the Chairs once the vote is done) due to VP Harris, then certain "battles" may have to wait for a better hand.
