McConnell presses Manchin on party switch risk and Senate aims
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell publically courted Joe Manchin after the West Virginia Democrat split with the White House over Biden's social and environmental bill. McConnell argued Manchin would join others with similar views if he changed parties, noting a switch could flip control of the Senate and derail Democratic agenda. He floated keeping Manchin as Energy Committee chair while highlighting the growing distance from Democrats. Manchin has repeatedly said he remains a Democrat, making a switch uncertain.
