House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she’s not giving up on Sen. Joe Manchin, who is opposing House Democrats' sweeping election reform bill
West Virginia Democrat has been pushing a more targeted voting rights bill
that has been endorsed by one Senate Republican — Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. In his Charleston Gazette-Mail op-ed, Manchin said this bipartisan support was a key reason for his decision. “I believe that partisan voting legislation will destroy the already weakening binds of our democracy, and for that reason, I will vote against the For the People Act,” he wrote.Chuck Schumer said last week he plans to hold a vote
later this month. But he acknowledged he might be open to tweaking the bill, based on Manchin’s position. “Now, is it possible we might change a few things here and there? We’re gonna do it,” Schumer said. “We had discussions with Sen. Manchin and they’re continuing."
