A group of House and Senate progressives is working behind the scenes to build goodwill with the Senate's most unpredictable moderate, who has the power to sink President Biden's expansive agenda and many progressive priorities
Soon after Missouri Rep. Cori Bush accused Sen. Joe Manchin of espousing an"anti-Black, anti-child, anti-woman and anti-immigrant" position, another House progressive was on national TV with a sharply different message.
Manchin, in fact, is not a racist, California Rep. Ro Khanna asserted. The next day, Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Blue Dog Democrat, invited Khanna along with a handful of other House members to make the short trek across the Capitol and meet with Manchin in the Senate cloakroom. Manchin was aware of Khanna's remarks and thanked him, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
