3. Because Manchin (and Sinema) wouldn't be the deciding votes
With 2 more Democratic Senators they lose their power.

I get it now and agree with you.

10. Do you understand, there is a real possibility with what is going on in Georgia that
Sen. Warnock may lose? And the Senatorial seats we are going after are in moderate to conservative States. We have a chance but it is dicey. I wish Breyer would retire ASAP. And the House is at grave risk...and if we lose the House...it is the same as in 10 for Obama...nothing gets done.

2. No. It means the Republican Party can go F themselves
Manchin's home-state power trip will be moved to irrelevant.

4. It can only happen if Manchin votes to scrap the filibuster.
And he has said repeatedly that he will not.

9. Joe Manchin has to put up an opposition to DC statehood.
I doubt he can raise an objectionable reason as to why this should not happen. For DC pays MORE in Federal taxes than does West Virginia and WV gets back MORE in Federal aid than DC does.
So there. Joe Manchin. |

6. It's not going to happen, unfortunately. They don't have the votes to overcome the filibuster.
And Manchin has already said he's not going to vote to scrap the Holiday.

11. Will West Virginia Joe vote to diminish his vise-like grip on the gonads?
Unfortunately, I think I know the answer:
