Joe Manchin, D-WV., speaks during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing to examine the American Jobs Plan, focusing on infrastructure, climate change, and investing in our nation\u2019s future on Tuesday, April 20, 2021 on Capitol Hill in Washington. (Oliver Contreras\/The Washington Post via AP, Pool)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 9:03 AM PT \u2013 Thursday, April 22, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has maintained his stance against Democrat-led attempts to end the filibuster. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/axios-even-joe-manchin-filibuster-problem-4a57382d-4d42-41fe-ae2e-c6e430642e20.html\">speaking with reporters<\/a> Wednesday, he said getting rid of the filibuster would lead to \u201cserious problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While ending the procedure through a formal rewrite of Senate Rule 22 would require a two-thirds vote in the upper chamber, the so-called \u201cnuclear option\u201d would need only a simple majority to get rid of the filibusters. This would make Manchin\u2019s opposition to the change crucial to keep it in place.<\/p>\n<p>The West Virginia Democrat lawmaker asserted the filibuster was designed to make lawmakers in Congress come together and find bipartisan solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Senate is the most deliberate body, it\u2019s supposed to cool things off,\u201d he stated. \u201cWe expect partisanship to run hot and heavy in the House, but when it comes to the Senate it\u2019s expected and it was designed for us to come together and find a pathway forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Americans elected a 50-50 Senate. Throwing out the filibuster tells half of the country\u2014and the majority of South Carolinians\u2014that their voices don&#8217;t matter, simply because they did not vote Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to stop the partisan games and start getting things done.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tim Scott (@SenatorTimScott) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenatorTimScott\/status\/1385246128011202563?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The senator said that while partisanship has made it difficult to pass legislation, it\u2019s not an excuse to eliminate certain checks and balances.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/report-georgia-fraud-votes-exceed-margin-of-victory\/\"> Report: Ga. fraud votes exceed margin of victory<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
