Manchin and Sinema are why Dems will pass almost nothing.
Now Manchin will block Dem bills just to spite Harris, who is 100% correct that dirt poor WV desperately needs government $100Ms.
'We need to work together': Manchin blasts Harris' TV hit on Covid relief
Manchin is part of a bipartisan group of senators that has pushed back against the administration's relief plan.
Sen. Joe Manchin has taken aim at fellow Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris over the administration's approach to pushing its Covid-19 relief plan.
The West Virginia moderate, a key swing vote in an evenly divided Senate, blasted Harris' appearance on a local TV station after she spoke about how the proposed relief is a "big issue" to his cons uents.
“I saw [the interview], I couldn’t believe it. No one called me,” Manchin said Friday to WSAZ, the West Virginia station where Harris gave an interview Thursday. “We’re going to try to find a bipartisan pathway forward, I think we need to do. But we need to work together. That’s not a way of working together.”
Harris appeared on WSAZ to speak about the massive relief package, saying: “To your point in West Virginia, one in seven families is describing their household as being hungry, one in six can’t pay their rent, and one in four small businesses are closing permanently or have already closed, so it’s a big issue in West Virginia and across the country.”
Manchin is part of a bipartisan group of senators that has pushed back against the administration's relief plan, urging that the proposed $1,400 direct payments be targeted toward those in greater need.
"We met with his economic team and they put out what they wanted," Manchin said in response to Harris. "We want to help everyone that needs help. But if a person's making $250K or $300K, I don't think they're in much needs as a person making $40K or 50K. That's all I said. We're going to target."
The Vice President's office declined to comment on Manchin's comments.

The Nigerians are loving it though.
Hey Cosmored... Climb a wall of s.
Yup. You're one of them.
Cosmored, the government shill, has a crush on elnono, but elnono does not have the same feelings for cosmored.
Cosmored will be heart broken and continue shilling for the government.
Enemy of the people, tbqfh.
The viewers are relieved.
Your is so dry and shriveled.
He’s mad he wasn’t told he was being dunked on for being Republican lite?
The guy already said he wouldn’t vote to get rid of the filibuster and now he’s looking to derail a COVID relief package? him.
Shut up got. No one cares
How much are you being paid as a government shill to spam boards?
Damn Cosmo dropping the truth nuke
Keep fighting the good fight Cosmo
They can't handle the truth!
Look I don't care what disinformation Jeff Bezos pays you to post here. No one pays attention to corporate shills like you anymore.
Escape thread. NCSWC.
Agree. Sometimes it's hard for me to tolerate the lame stuff people post on this forum.
i mean you see some of the positions some people take and you wonder
"were they dropped on their heads repeatedly as children"
"did they pop some bad acid and melt their brain"
"did they just never go to school"
There's people like that
Snake boy again caught throwing matches in a gas field.
If you actually kill Cosmo they will come here and hunt you down, reptile man.
-Derp
Don't have enough votes to tell him to go himself. Now he's going to side with the 600 billion package.
This is why we can't have nice things, tbh. This is the Democrat's McCain moment.
Schumer does not have the power that he seems to think he has right now.
If they cant work out a bipartisan deal on a softball like COVID relief, just imagine how ugly it is going to get moving forward.
If Schumer would be anything like Mitch, he would be digging dirt on Manchin and making some incognito super liberal group announce he's getting primaried...
Instead, we get amateur hour.... smh
Crazy sophist calling people names. You are wasting your life, and will die lonely.
NO ONE CLICKS ON YOU LINKS BECAUSE NO ONE CARES.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Manchin’s words are always a lot more conservative than his actions. In 2018 he said he’d “consider” supporting Trump in 2020
Democrats are going to have to make room in the "big tent" for a few new people, given Republican defections. I think what few moderates were left in GOPland have given up. It is the Trump party now. Kiss the ring or retire.
I imagine there will be quite a bit of Democratic frustration from the lefter wing to the center, and vice versa.
