Two-thirds of Americans are opposed to laws that would limit transgender rights, according to the latest from @NewsHour@NPR@MaristPoll. That opposition includes majorities of every political ideology and age group. https://t.co/EQoGi6wohe PBS (@PBS) April 16, 2021

An increasing large number of lobbyists and outside groups in America all have a similar target: Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
And it’s understandable why. In a Senate where Democrats hold the slimmest of majorities a vote by Manchin, the most conservative Senate Democrat, can decide whether legislation is signed into law or left to meander in political purgatory in Congress.
Manchin has also demonstrated a willingness to buck the majority of the party on priority proposals and key votes. He was one of the first senators to oppose Neera Tanden’s nomination to direct the Office of Management and Budget. He has vehemently resisted the idea of changes to the filibuster. He was also early out of the gate in opposing a minimum wage increase as part of Joe Biden’s $1.9tn stimulus bill.
