Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) told reporters he was not open to eliminating the filibuster in order to get the January 6 commission bill passed.
Said Manchin: “I’m not willing to destroy our government, no. I think we’ll come together. You have to have faith there’s 10 good people.”
Manchin could issue an ultimatum to Republicans: Either vote for the commission or I end the filibuster. He’s got all the power.
