Manchin: I will not vote for $3.5 trillion bill

[FBaggins]

24. No, but then I don't think that he'll have any problem voting "no"

It's just that he doesn't have to.

Moreover... he won't have to vote "no" or "present" because a failed vote hurts Schumer far more than Manchin. So he likely won't let it come to that until he has 51 votes. So it's exactly the same effect. The bill is "paused" until Manchin decides otherwise.

Other than Sinema, can you name any other Dem senators who would block any of the committee bills or vote no on the final bill?

That's begging the question. There have been a number of Democrats who have expressed concern with the 3.5T figure. But, just like the filibuster, they don't have to upset some on the left as long as the more moderate members are willing to take the heat. They can just make noise like "let's see the specifics and how it's paid for"

It will be interesting to see if Schumer can find a work around to Manchin’s obstruction attempts.

When you see people speculating that "maybe he can convince a couple of republicans to go along with it"... you know that the answer is "he can't". He can only compromise with Manchin in the hopes that everyone to the left of him will accept that. And that House moderates will as well.
