Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., has been pleading with his fellow Democrats for bipartisanship by opposing killing the filibuster — and his colleagues have had enough. Top-ranking Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., went after Manchin in an interview on Thursday about the Democrats' voting rights bill. Manchin is the only Democratic senator not co-sponsoring the For the People Act, which Democrats say can only pass if filibuster rules change. Clyburn implied the Democrats may lose their Senate majority over Manchin. "The issue of civil rights and voting rights, these constitutional issues, should never be sacrificed on the altar of the filibuster," Clyburn continued.
