What I'm talking about is who decides the majority leader and the majority party. Right now, even though Manchin doesn't always vote for Democrat bills, he does vote to make Democrats the majority party in the Senate. This isn't something you flip easily. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago* Right now, even though Manchin doesn’t always vote for Democrat bills, he does vote to make Democrats the majority party in the Senate. We'll see if he continues to do so. I don't want to hear any whining from centrists if he does change parties.
