How he votes might depend on if he is the deciding vote, like with Kavanaugh...
>>A Senate vote is expected Wednesday - and with the filibuster intact the legislation will fail.
That makes a lot of assumptions... there are a LOT of Assistant Democrats amongst the pubbies that will vote with the Rats on this.

Joe Manchin wanted to be POTUS, he knows he probably won’t be so he’s squeezing every little bit of juice he can from the present situation.
OR
Manchin is acting the Sane Centrist in hopes of being the 2024 Dem nominee. Biden probably won’t make it to next year, but he could surprise me, and the grinning hyena VP doesn’t stand a chance in 24. With no stand out on the bench Manchin might be able to pull it off.
This is silly. Even if they pass it the states will fight it.
RINO Willard will vote for it ...
The Supremes will strike it down. Abortion is not under federal control, either judicial or legislative. Period.
Senator, your state is West Virginia . . . NOT California or Connecticut.
Wait until tomorrow means “let me see what the party will promise me.”
That the Senate is taking this up is an admission that the SCOTUS opinion was not essential. It is an admission that the Senate had been passing the buck to SCOTUS for a hot-button issue. Consider all the rhetoric about “super precedent” during confirmation hearings.
The Senate has no authority to pass such a bill.
He will try to split the finest hair and try to come down on both sides of this bill. He has no other choice if he wants even the slimmest shot at the Rat Prez or VP nomination and being the next Byrd (His Plan B!).
Manchin claims he’s a conservative, pro life Catholic. Manchin has always been a self-serving SOB. He remains in the pro death party who’s national platform is 100% baby killing for any reason. A pro abortion Catholic/Christian is an oxymoron. They don’t exist.
