CNN
In their book, "This Will Not Pass," New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns write of a dinner between Republican Sens. John Thune, Susan Collins and Rob Portman and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin in early 2021.
Collins had arranged the dinner following Vice President Kamala Harris' interview with a local West Virginia TV station in which she said that the country was facing a "crisis of unbelievable proportions" and that politicians needed to "step up and stand for them."
While she didn't mention West Virginia's Manchin, the most conservative Democrat in the Senate, by name, it was very clear whom Harris was targeting with her words. And Manchin was upset.
