I don't get how WV voted him in, or Montana voted in their (D) senator. Those are deep red states, it makes no sense? Do these voters think it is 80's or 90's where there were actual blue dog Democrats. Manchin will vote whatever Schumer needs him to vote. On non controversial bills or when they don't have the votes, Schumer will let him cross the aisle.

Manchin was a pretty effective governor there and he brings home pork as a Senator so he's built as a rep that sits outside of the party structure. He's also a very good politician, that matters. More importantly, the West Virginia Republican party decided to run a criminal coal baron and a pharma lobbyist against him. So, yeah...

Both of those guys should have never won re-election. It’s amazing how Florida has 2 republican senators and is almost a purple state . But West Virginia a sold red state has a democrat senator. Both states need to get good home grown person to win these seats in the next election. These are seats they we have to have . The republican senators from these states would be able to be lock step republicans.
