In an open gesture to embattled moderate Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told Fox News on Wednesday that Manchin should join the GOP amid continuing attacks on the West Virginian from his own party.
Manchin kicked off a panic among Democrats on Dec. 19 when he announced in a Fox News Sunday interview that he would not be giving his crucial support to President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better (BBB) agenda in the Senate, becoming the 51st senator to openly oppose the bill.
