.thereidout Blog: The two senators from opposing parties endorsed each other's re-election campaigns, but their calls for bipartisanship rang hollow. Here’s why.
The two spent no time reckoning with who and how many people would be harmed by their voting rights obstruction.
“Now, there will be some people saying it’s not enough," Manchin said of the proposed Electoral Count Act reform."There’ll be other people saying that it’s more than what we should do or we don’t need it." Murkowski chimed in:"I’ve kind of said, ‘We’re going to take the Goldilocks approach here. We’re going to try to find what’s just right.'"
Nursery rhyme references aside, the two spent no time reckoning with who and how many people would be harmed by their voting rights obstruction. And the theme of self-praise continued as the lawmakers went on to tout their involvement in a bipartisan committee of senators who negotiated the infrastructure bill passed last year.
