The other two were Senator Carl Levin (MI), who retired in 2015 and died last week, and Senator Mark Pryor (AK), who lost re-election in 2014 to Republican challenger Tom Cotton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>At the time, then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) warned Democrats that they would regret their decision, and regret it \u201ca lot sooner than you think.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019re just going to do the cabinet for the president,\u201d said Manchin, describing the political thinking in 2013. \u201cAnd then it went into, \u2018we\u2019re going to do the judges,\u2019 who are lifetime appointments for circuit district, they were even going to do Supreme Court but they didn\u2019t at that time, the Democrats were in control. 2017, Mitch McConnell\u2019s in control, comes right back in, and guess what? That carveout worked to really carve us up pretty bad. Then you\u2019ve got the Supreme Court. So there\u2019s no stopping it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Manchin, a moderate Democrat from a purple state, has made it clear that he is aggressively pro-filibuster and plans to remain so. Earlier this year, after yet another reporter asked him about his stance and whether he would ever reconsider it, Manchin exclaimed, per <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/sen-joe-manchin-ending-filibuster-004147395.html\"><span>Yahoo News<\/span><\/a><span>, \u201c<\/span><span>Jesus Christ, what don\u2019t you understand about \u2018never\u2019?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>His fellow moderate, Senator Kirsten Sinema (D-AZ), has also said that she will not ax the filibuster and suggested that she is also against carveout exemptions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span><span>My support for retaining the 60-vote threshold is not based on the importance of any particular policy. It is based on what is best for our democracy. The filibuster compels moderation and helps protect the country from wild swings between opposing policy poles,\u201d she wrote in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2021\/06\/21\/kyrsten-sinema-filibuster-for-the-people-act\/\"><span>The Washington Post<\/span><\/a><span> back in June.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
