Whew! That was a close one! Looks like upstanding citizen and wholehearted Democrat Joe Manchin will keep his 100% meaningless 100% Biden loyalty voter rating from 538 that is touted by his fan club here, even though he has co-sponsored this anti-Biden agenda legislation

His 100% record will be shot and far more meaningful is the fact Manchin literally is THE vote that passes a final vote against a Biden stance. (unlike the meaningless protest votes (that blocked nothing) that the 'but but Manchin is 100% pro Biden' poster always tosses out there in a futile attempt to play sophistry spin games)
