WASHINGTON (AP) â Sen. Joe Manchin is proposing an extensive list of changes to his party s sweeping elections and voting bill, raising hopes among Democrats that they could unite behind the legislation even if the measure is nearly certain to be blocked by Republicans in a showdown Senate vote next week.
Manchin, a West Virginia moderate, said he s now open to supporting a bill if it s revised, despite declaring earlier this month that the measure was the âwrong piece of legislation to bring our country together.
He released a proposed list of changes ahead of a meeting of Senate Democrats Thursday to discuss the path forward. That meeting was called by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is vowing to hold a vote on the bill in June no matter what, saying âwe have to get it done.â
