On transformative legislation Joe Manchin should step up
CNN
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who is also running for the US Senate, writes that Sen. Manchin is wrong to choose to vote against the For the People Act, a bill that would increase election security and access to voting and reduce the influence of big money in politics. To pretend that former President Donald Trump's Republican Party will act in good faith to preserve democracy is naive.
In an op-ed for the Charleston Gazette, Manchin described the bill as "partisan voting legislation" that "will destroy the already weakening binds of our democracy."More Related News
