“Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) has given Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer a potentially easier path to helping President Biden beat former President Trump’s record on judicial nominees,” Axios reports.
“Manchin backtracked Thursday on a March promise to vote ‘no’ on any purely partisan nominees.”
“That’s a huge win for Schumer, who was previously looking to capitalize on GOP absences or rely on Vice President Kamala Harris to break ties.”
