Manchin says he won't vote to 'eliminate or weaken the filibuster'

Summary by Ground News

Sen. Joe Manchin issued a lengthy written statement reiterating his support for the filibuster amid calls from some Senate Democrats and President Joe Biden to eliminate or scale back the rule. The House passed the voting rights legislation earlier Thursday ahead of an expected Senate vote. But without the requisite number of votes, Senate Democrats cannot pass it without changing filibuster rules.
