Former President Donald Trump on Monday said Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is making the right choice in his refusal to go along with Democrat efforts to end the filibuster.

“Well, it’s a very important thing. He’s doing the right thing and it’s a very important thing, otherwise you’re going to be packing the court, you’re going to be doing all sorts of very, very bad things that were unthinkable and were never even brought up during the election,” Trump said during a phone interview broadcast on Fox News.
