80. CT is cool, too. We have a great governor. I'm so glad my family members live in MA and CA.

My grandchild in CA is transitioning now and has all the help she can from the state and the public school she attends. She is going to a state college that is LGBTQ friendly after she graduates from high school this June. I just saw her prom picture and it is so cool! I'll see her on Martha's Vineyard in July and can't wait!

Manchin, the WVA "Republican." wnylib May 2022 #58

If Manchin were a Republican, Mitch McConnell would be leading the Senate. pnwmom May 2022 #59

I know that Manchin is a place holder for Dems. wnylib May 2022 #75

All one has to say is Manchin voted with republicans Bev54 May 2022 #3

votes with them, sits with them, campaigns with them... NullTuples May 2022 #23

Yes and the dems have to appease him to keep the majority. I sure hope that will change come Nov Bev54 May 2022 #32

Except with him voting (R) they don't actually have a majority except on paper? NullTuples May 2022 #77

Except they need him to get nominees through, especially judges. Bev54 May 2022 #79

Did they actually vote on the bill, or was it a stalled cloture vote? Fiendish Thingy May 2022 #7

They knew that Manchin would vote with them Bettie May 2022 #12

It was a vote on cloture... PoliticAverse May 2022 #19

Then Manchin's vote won't count against his 95% "pro-Biden" voting record Fiendish Thingy May 2022 #33

That offers NO comfort whatsoever. calimary May 2022 #68

I forgot the sarcasm thingy... Fiendish Thingy May 2022 #72
