Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) faced criticism for voting to pass the controversial stimulus bill after he opposed it in public statements. On Sunday, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/sunday-talk-shows\/542018-all-eyes-on-manchin-after-covid-19-aid-passes-senate\">reports<\/a> found the West Virginia senator said in the past he would not support any bills based exclusively on his party affiliation.<\/p>\n<p>He also claimed to oppose partisan politics and called for a new era of bipartisanship. However, on Saturday, Manchin voted in favor of the $1.9 trillion bill, which passed the Senate in a 50-to-49 vote along party lines.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2382912\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2382912\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2382912 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-1305511252.jpg\" alt=\"WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 05: Sen.

He was asked, \u201cDo the Democrats now have to cater to Joe Manchin\u2019s agenda?\u201d during a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jHV_9ONWoNU\">interview<\/a> with ABC News. In response, Manchin stated:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cNot at all, no. I didn\u2019t lobby for this position. I\u2019ve never changed, Martha. I\u2019m the same person I have been all my life and since I\u2019ve been in the public offices, I\u2019m the same. I\u2019ve been voting the same way for the last 10 years. The common sense that comes with the moderate middle is who I am.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Reports have also found Manchin allegedly only voted to support the stimulus package because the bill was changed to his liking and due to political pressure by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/moderate-democrats-white-house-resist-calls-to-eliminate-filibuster\/\">Moderate Democrats, White House Resist Calls To Eliminate Filibuster<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 FEBRUARY 24: Sen.
