Squad member targets Manchin, as lawmakers, progressive activists implore Dem to 'save' democracy
Fox News
Pressure continues to mount on Sen. Joe Manchin to support Democrats' signature election overhaul legislation, with one Squad member penning a new op-ed accusing the West Virginia moderate of protecting "Jim Crow" relics.
"By dooming our democracy in the name of bipartisanship, Senator Manchin is betraying both," Jones wrote, arguing the provisions of the election reform legislation have widespread support outside of the partisan Senate. Jones, a freshman progressive in the House, criticized Manchin for wanting to protect the filibuster, too, and said by doing so he's backing discriminatory voting measures.More Related News
