(CNN)West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin announced on Friday that he plans to vote for President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, a move that all but guarantees she will be confirmed.
In a statement outlining his decision, Manchin said, "I met with Judge Jackson and evaluated her qualifications to be a Supreme Court Justice. After meeting with her, considering her record, and closely monitoring her testimony and questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, I have determined I intend to vote for her nomination to serve on the Supreme Court."
Manchin's announcement is notable since he is a closely-watched moderate Democrat and key swing vote in the Senate. His decision to vote "yes" helps solidify the vote math for Senate Democrats to confirm the nominee.

RINOs aren’t assistant Democrats, they are actual Democrats.
Explains McConnels “brave” stance.
Exactly!
Everything he does is to Zig & Zag to
1. Zig: Keep him firmly entrenched in WV to play the reincarnation of “Byrd”. WV’ians still love their government cheese.
2. Zag: Enable his dream - President Machin.
Stolen elections have consequences. If a Trump hadn’t been screwed over, he could replace Breyer, and Thomas could retire and go RVing with the wife.
We all know that the Republican leader in the Senate is weak and feckless, and should be replaced with fresh, younger blood.

“Thanks to RBG, the court will remain conservative for another generation or two.”
Why would that be thanks to RBG?
I agree, or he’s been smoking crack, or both.
See, Joe is another enemy of We The People. He is no “moderate” like most believe him to be.
And the tearing up of our Constitution; just picture Pelosi again tearing up Trump’s SOTU speech.
Did Joe really "closely" monitor her testimony? Did Joe get the part where she said that she does not know what a woman is?
Did Joe get the part where she supports CRT and rejects the Constitution?
Did Joe get the part where Judge Jackson states that she does not know when human life begins?
Maybe Joe should take another look at her lack of qualifications to serve on the Supreme Court.
There are many brilliant black women who are capable of serving on the Supreme Court.
Bet she gets 53-55 YES votes. All the ‘rats plus Romney, Collins, Murkowski and 1 or 2 other RINOS.
That should really hurt him in WV elections...
Agree its just an equal change out.
Incremental placement of jurists who want to destroy the Constitution and implement the Marxist one which destroys individual rights and determination along with property rights and creates an all devouring State.
In a just world, his own constituents would tar and feather him, them primary the paedophile lover.
“”I met with Judge Jackson and evaluated her qualifications to be a Supreme Court Justice.”
The two most important being that she’s black and a woman (though she herself doesn’t know she’s a woman).
Instead of resigning and letting Barry O appoint her successor, she instead waited for Hillary to become President... And Trump appointed her successor... Her selfishness resulted in a more conservative court... God love her for that.
Why do you say She when IT doesn’t even know what a Woman is?
The Joe Manchin Fan Club at FR will have to express shock and surprise at this one.
