Joe Manchin (D-WV) has positioned himself as the thread holding America together in the face of deep political disunity by his refusal to allow Democrats to unilaterally kill the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court. The media has now grown visibly impatient with his bipartisanship.<\/p>\n<p>During an appearance on \u201cCBS This Morning\u201d on Wednesday, Manchin was pressed on recent comments in which he said that he will only vote on President Joe Biden\u2019s COVID relief bill if it has bipartisan support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be nearly impossible for Senate Democrats to pass any relief package along party lines without support from Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia. The Democrats\u2019 vote is essential given that there is a 50\/50 split in the chamber,\u201d Tony Dokoupil said, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/scott-whitlock\/2021\/02\/03\/now-cbs-pestering-joe-manchin-stop-being-so-bipartisan\">Newsbusters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s been some objection among Republicans to the overall size of the package, $1.9 trillion. You said repeatedly and you\u2019ve told the President that you want this to be bipartisan. My question is, is that bipartisan comment a red line for you? In other words, if there are no Republican votes for the final package, will you not vote for it?\u201d asked Dokoupil.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin said that he did not draw a \u201cred line\u201d and that he will have to look at all the facts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, it\u2019s not that. That\u2019s not the red line. The red line is are we going to have an open amendment process and look at everything and basically take the facts that we have?\u201d said Manchin.<\/p>\n<p>Dokoupil, however, stressed that \u201ctime is of the essence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenator, since time is of the essence and people want this relief, the question I think becomes how long are you going to give the bipartisan negotiation process before you say, \u2018Okay, Democrats, we just have to do this?&#8217;\u201d pressed Dokoupil<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, no, no, no. The votes will go quickly, Tony. The bottom line is this process moves. But they just have to have an open process so amendments can be made,\u201d said Manchin.<\/p>\n<p>During an appearance on Fox News Tuesday, Manchin said that he made it \u201cvery clear\u201d to the president and his colleagues that he wants a bipartisan deal on the relief package.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I have told everybody, I made it very clear, from the president of the United States to all of my colleagues, we\u2019re gonna make this work in a bipartisan way,\u201d Manchin said told Fox News host Bret Baier. \u201cMy friends on the other side are going to have input, and we are going to do something we agree on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has to make sense,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf it\u2019s out of the realm of what makes sense, of what we\u2019ve worked on together, we\u2019ve built too much trust up to allow this to fall apart. So they can count on me to make sure I do everything to make sure this is done bipartisan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/sen-joe-manchin-threatens-to-derail-bidens-1-9-trillion-aid-bill-unless-it-receives-bipartisan-support\">Sen.
