The House passed a similar CRA bill on Friday after it advanced out of committee last week. However, the fight against the president may be short-lived \u2014 the White House said Biden would veto the repeal should it hit his desk.<\/p>\n<h3>More Democrats Join the Opposition<\/h3>\n<p>After Manchin&#8217;s declaration, more Democrats came out in opposition, claiming the tariff pause was unfairly harming the U.S. solar industry.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) released a statement announcing he would be in favor of repealing the tariff suspension.<\/li>\n<li>Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) is still reviewing the bill, according to his spokespeople via Fox News.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;The Chinese government will do anything to undermine American manufacturing, and would like nothing more than to kill the American solar manufacturing industry before it takes off. Ohio is ready to lead in the manufacturing industries of the future \u2014 we must not put that progress at risk,\u201d said Brown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president got this one wrong,&#8221; Brown added.<\/p>\n<h3>2024 Elections<\/h3>\n<p>Manchin, Tester, and Brown are among a handful of Democrats whose seats are targets for the GOP heading into the 2024 election. Tester and Brown announced they are running for reelection, while Manchin has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/homeless-man-accused-of-setting-249-year-old-san-gabriel-mission-on-fire-pleads-not-guilty\/\" title=\"Homeless Man Accused Of Setting 249-Year-Old San Gabriel Mission On Fire Pleads Not Guilty\">remained tight-lipped<\/a> about his political future. He has left the door open to possibly even running for president, perhaps as an independent.<\/p>\n<p>However, after Gov. Jim Justice (R-WV) entered the race on Thursday, bringing Republicans one step closer to flipping the Senate, the West Virginia senator offered a confident statement regarding the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Make no mistake, I will win any race I enter,\u201d Manchin said.<\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vulnerable Democrats seeking reelection in 2024 are continuing to distance themselves from President Joe Biden&#8217;s more liberal policies, this time supporting the reversal of a bill that halts tariffs on Chinese solar panel manufacturers.
