Quid pro Joe is back!
Joe Biden on Friday announced he is nominating Democrat Senator Joe Manchin’s wife, Gayle Manchin, for federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission.
Joe Biden made this announcement as debate over the filibuster has reached a boiling point.
The filibuster requires 60 votes to pass most legislation in the Senate. Getting rid of the filibuster would allow the Democrats to ram through far-left, extreme measures with a simple majority.
Senator Manchin, a key “moderate” West Virginia Democrat has said he will “never” change his mind on the filibuster.
It looks like Joe Biden is trying to grease the wheels a bit by nominating Manchin’s wife to a key role.
