Biden Names Wife of Pivotal Democratic Senator for Federal Post

President Joe Biden plans to nominate Gayle Conelly Manchin -- an educator and the wife of Democratic Senator Joe Manchin -- to a regional economic development position after the lawmaker has emerged as a key swing vote in the chamber.

The White House said Friday that Gayle Manchin is Biden’s pick for federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission, an economic development partnership between the federal government and 13 states, including West Virginia, where the senator and his wife reside.

Gayle Manchin has served previously on the State Board of Education, and chairs Reconnecting McDowell, an initiative in West Virginia run by the American Federation of Teachers. She also served as secretary for the West Virginia Office of Education and the Arts and holds two graduate degrees. She and the senator have been married for 53 years.

Senator Manchin is the foremost Democratic swing vote in the chamber, which is evenly split between the parties but is controlled by Democrats because Vice President Kamala Harris breaks ties. As a result, Manchin holds significant sway in Biden’s ability to pass legislation.

Now that the covid bill has passed Dems need to end reconciliation,if they do republicans would support ending the filibuster.Republicans biggest priorities are tax cuts and the military industrial complex.They can pass their tax cuts through reconciliation and can depend on enough democrats to spend on the military so they don't need to end the filibuster for their top 2 priorities.Democrat policies to help the people cant go through reconciliation so they are fucked.If Republicans needed to end the filibuster to get their tax cuts through they would be on board for ending it.

Democrats are straight suckers for letting Republicans play this game game on them all these years.When Obama first came into office he had The House and 60 Dems in The Senate.He could have ended the filibuster,passed gerrymandering and voter suppression laws,passed a much better health care law, made DC,PR,Guam and The Virgin Islands states etc putting a nail in the coffin for the republican party on a national level for decades to come.If Mitch had the ability to do that you can bet your house that he would.

Yeah, but, I thought that libtards cared about democracy.

Or, do you really care about selective democracy. Do you cherry pick the polls that further your agenda and that is what the majority really wants?

Exactly. It goes both ways and nothing gets done and Americans all across the country are frustrated with their government.

Imagine a country where even republicans can pass legislation and the American people get to vote in the next election whether they like the policies or want them repealed. What a world that would be, some might even say it was a democracy! Wow. What a concept. An actual democracy as intended at the founding of the country and written in the constitution.

Wait!! What!?

It is my understanding that libtards think that the constitution is an antiquated document, written by slave owners, and that it needs to be replaced. Do you only mention the founding fathers and the constitution when you think that it furthers your political ideology?
