There literally is not a single issue or even grouping of issues that he could vote with republicans on that matter as much as the fact that he makes Schumer the majority leader, which gives the dems the ability to chair every committee, get their judicial nominees through the senate, get their cabinet through the senate, get their government appointments through the senate, make Sanders chairman of the Senate Budget committee. But the left worries about how he votes on a single issue or two. It would almost be laughable if it was not so sad. Somebody probably will primary him, he will win the primary and then god-willing win in 2024 because once Manchin is gone the Dems will never win a Senate seat again in West Virginia in my lifetime.
In West Virginia’s other senate seat the Republican won 62-34 in 2014. That was the nail biter, as she won 70-27 this year. In a state where the GOP is +40 on the Dems, Manchin wins and continues to win.
