“doesn’t want to be the 50th vote for Kavanaugh”
This is everything wrong with politics. His only job here is to make up his own mind on whether or not the nominee is qualified.
I’ve been telling EVERYONE THIS FOR WEEKS!!!
No democrat wants to be the one who puts him over the line... but a few will vote for him once they know he has the votes...
Manchin was ALWAYS a yes.. the ONLY way he was going to vote no was if there weren’t 50 votes in front of him.. because he knows a NO vote ends his political career.. but a YES VOTE, if that makes the 50th vote, ends his place in the Democratic party politics.
This same truth is true for a few more Dems... now that its obvious the GOP have 50 votes a few more will join to confirm.
This was ALWAYS a 52-55 vote confirmation....
