Joe Manchin (WV) to swap parties and join the GOP amid his disagreements with President Joe Biden\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) have made overt attempts recently to convince Manchin to become a Republican. If Manchin were to make the move, the GOP would take over as the majority party in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell has ramped up his efforts to persuade Manchin since the Democrat had a falling out with the White House over the weekend. Manchin said publicly last week that he was a hard no on Biden\u2019s signature Build Back Better legislation as it is currently written. The White Houose responded with an open statement torching the West Virginia senator.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell said the incident shows how far Manchin is from the heart of the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy in the world would they want to call him a liar and try to hotbox him and embarrass him?\u201d McConnell told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/12\/21\/us\/politics\/mcconnell-manchin-republican.html\">The New York Times<\/a>. \u201cI think the message is, \u2018We don\u2019t want you around.\u2019 Obviously that is up to Joe Manchin, but he is clearly not welcome on that side of the aisle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously we would love to have him on our team,\u201d McConnell added. \u201cI think he\u2019d be more comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cornyn has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kxan.com\/news\/political-news\/texas-sen-cornyn-joins-republicans-recruiting-joe-manchin-to-gop\/\">tried<\/a> to push Manchin to split from the Democratic Party and join the GOP. Cornyn said he texted Manchin on Tuesday morning: \u201cJoe, if they don\u2019t want you we do.\u201d Cornyn said that he did not receive a response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what he will decide to do. But I do know West Virginia has gotten increasingly red,\u201d Cornyn said. \u201cAnd I think his vote on Build Back Better is reflective of what he\u2019s hearing from his constituents in West Virginia. So yeah, we\u2019d love to have him. That would change the majority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/im-from-west-virginia-joe-manchin-says-he-wont-be-bullied-into-submission-on-bbb\">blasted<\/a> Manchin over his refusal to back Biden\u2019s legislation in a statement on Sunday:<\/p>\n<p><em>Senator Manchin\u2019s comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances. Weeks ago, Senator Manchin committed to the President, at his home in Wilmington, to support the Build Back Better framework that the President then subsequently announced. Senator Manchin pledged repeatedly to negotiate on finalizing that framework \u201cin good faith.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>On Tuesday of this week, Senator Manchin came to the White House and submitted\u2014to the President, in person, directly\u2014a written outline for a Build Back Better bill that was the same size and scope as the President\u2019s framework, and covered many of the same priorities. While that framework was missing key priorities, we believed it could lead to a compromise acceptable to all. Senator Manchin promised to continue conversations in the days ahead, and to work with us to reach that common ground. If his comments on FOX and written statement indicate an end to that effort, they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator\u2019s colleagues in the House and Senate.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
