Joe Manchin (D-WV), who made the remarks during an interview with the Bipartisan Policy Center, was talking about Democrats\u2019 attempts to pass the coronavirus stimulus package that they want, without bipartisan support, by using the reconciliation process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started wrong,\u201d Manchin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?t=2070&amp;v=CCOnHaFSJag&amp;feature=youtu.be\">said<\/a>. \u201cAnd I think that Joe Biden\u2019s advisers have led him wrong to start out in a strictly partisan direction. We should have found something that we could have voted on bipartisan first and then gone down this lane when we hit a roadblock, and they didn\u2019t do that, but that\u2019s fine, we\u2019re going to start this, I\u2019m determined to make it bipartisan because if we go off the rails and there\u2019s no bipartisan, you ain\u2019t coming back for two years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin said that the bill will have to be north of the $600 billion that Republicans are pushing for and will have to be less than the $1.9 trillion that the Democrats are pushing for. Manchin noted that the Senate worked better together under Trump to get bills passed in a bipartisan manner than they are under the new Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven under Trump, we had five COVID bills, the total of the five totaled $5.7 trillion,\u201d Manchin said. \u201cEvery one of them passed with 90 votes or more in the Senate. One of them passed voice vote, not even a vote, because we all agreed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin said that the Senate could get \u201ca trillion dollar bipartisan deal tonight, tonight, but that\u2019s not what my side of the aisle wants, my side wants $1.9 [trillion].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/morning-energy\/2021\/02\/05\/bidens-early-climate-test-793190\">noted<\/a> that Manchin also vowed to defend the Byrd rule, which restricts the kinds of provisions that can be rammed through with reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they think they want to jam things down people\u2019s throat? No,\u201d Manchin said. \u201cIf we can\u2019t get one or two or three Republicans to vote with things that we should be doing in a bipartisan [way] \u2026 I\u2019m not going down that path and destroy this place. I\u2019m not going to let the Byrd rule be decimated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin has already taken shots at the Biden administration after Vice President Kamala Harris visited his state, West Virginia, and gave interviews to local media without informing Manchin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw [the interview], I couldn\u2019t believe it. No one called me,\u201d Manchin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsaz.com\/2021\/01\/30\/sen-joe-manchin-reacts-to-wsaz-interview-with-vice-pres-kamala-harris\/\">said<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re going to try to find a bipartisan pathway forward, but we need to work together. That\u2019s not a way of working together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin, one of the only moderate Democrats in the party, has also stated that he will not let his party eliminate the filibuster in order to ram through Biden\u2019s leftist agenda.<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
