Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) as their fears of a potential defeat on their sweeping election reform bill have increased. The Senate has been set to vote on whether or not to proceed with Democrat\u2019s For The People Act on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin, one of the last Democrat holdouts on the bill, has remained indecisive on his support. His opposition would result in a major setback for the Democratic party, as the West Virginian senator has pushed for an alternative that integrates more of his ideas.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The \u201cFor the People Act\u201d is another Orwellian-named bill that has nothing to do with voting rights but everything to do with consolidating Democrat control over government and our lives. <\/p>\n<p>Statement on the Democrats&#8217; S.1 power grab: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/y1dfTnhK4A\">pic.twitter.com\/y1dfTnhK4A<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenRonJohnson\/status\/1407402480770682887?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) argued even with Manchin\u2019s\u2019 compromises, the bill was completely irrational.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve taken a look at all these new state laws. None of them are designed to suppress the vote,\u201d he expressed. \u201cThere is no rational basis for the federal government to take over all American elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin\u2019s support would give Democrats 50 votes as well as much desired unity among the ranks. However, without Republican support, they\u2019ll still lack the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster and proceed to a debate on the bill.<\/p>\n<p>If passed, the act will hand over control of absentee voting as well as redistricting to the federal government.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/people-report-heart-inflammation-and-female-reproductive-issues-after-receiving-covid-19-vaccines\/\">People Report Heart Inflammation And Female Reproductive Issues After Receiving COVID-19 Vaccines<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
