Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) released the following statement on Vice President Harris’ support for eliminating the filibuster in the U.S. Senate.
“I have been consistent on the importance of protecting the 60-vote threshold, which we call the filibuster, since I arrived at the United States Senate. This threshold stabilizes our democracy, promotes bipartisan cooperation and protects our nation from partisan whiplash and dysfunction. I have always said: ‘if you can’t change your mind, you can’t change anything’ and I am hopeful that the Vice President remains open to doing just that.”
