Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has once again killed President Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda, telling reporters on Tuesday that it’s deader than ever.

While the establishment media reported Sunday from two confirmed sources that Manchin was resuming negotiations on Biden’s $1.9 trillion reconciliation package, the West Virginia senior told reporters the massive tax and spend plan was still dead.

“I’m not agreeing to any of this,” Manchin said about changes to the package the media reported. “There’s been no conversations” with the White House…

To federalize all local elections, the senate would need at least 60 “yes” votes in a 50/50 split Senate. GOP senators oppose federalizing elections. Therefore Senate Democrats have proposed doing away with the filibuster, which would mean the measure could pass with 50 Senate votes.

But Manchin told reporters Tuesday canceling the filibuster to only federalize elections is a “heavy lift” and is not his “absolute preference.”

“And the reason I say it’s a heavy lift is once you change a rule or you have a carve out, I’ve always said this – anytime there’s a carve out, you eat the whole turkey. There’s nothing left because it comes back and forth,” Manchin explained.

Along with 50 GOP senators, Manchin’s opposition to changing filibuster rules and to the massive $1.9 trillion reconciliation package threatens to upend Biden’s most prized legislative items.

I thank God for a democrat with COMMON SENSE. Keep Congressman Joe Manchin in your prayers. The democrat party no longer stands for anything that is Biblical. They promote sexual perversions, witchcraft, dumbing down America, destroying our history and our precious freedoms.

Father God – we thank you for Sen. Manchin, we realize he is in a place where he listens to you. Thank you God! We pray for his continued health, we pray for his safety and your protection, and we thank him for his convictions that represent our nation.
In Jesus’ name.

    Amen! Senator Manchin must have grown up with Love for America. We have seen Obama show his disdain for America and his veep making deals with Commmunist leaders in China, Russia and with Ukrainian leaders to enrich his own family. Biden has lost the cognitive ability to realize that he is being made a fool of by his handlers to further a Communist agenda to overthrow our precious United States of America. Pray that Obama, Biden, Schiff, NADLER, Merritt Garland and others who are leading us into bondage to China will experience God’s presence and repent. Pray that we will truly care for their souls. Forgive all of us in America who have looked to ourselves for a remedy, when turning back to the God who loves us is our only hope.
