Tough Tuesday: Sen_JoeManchin suffers two major blows to his power
Over the last two years, Manchin has acted as somewhat of a gatekeeper within his party, often using his vote to negotiate and boost his own priorities in exchange for support on a Democratic bill. This strategy has routinely worked for the West Virginia senator as Democrats couldn’t afford to lose his vote in the 50-50 Senate, often resulting in drawn-out negotiations or compromises in order to pass legislation.
Sinema has often used her position as a centrist to elevate herself as a key negotiator between Republicans and Democrats when it came to drafting legislation and standing firm against removing the legislative filibuster. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer initially cut a deal with Manchin to include the energy-permitting legislation in the annual government funding bill in exchange for his support of the Inflation Reduction Act.
