We rarely see Republicans sabotage their own party for the petty needs of just one person. We can call the Republicans a lot of things, but they are united, especially on their own issues and they all stick together. Just look at former president, Donald Trump.

On Sunday, Senator Joe Manchin appeared to kill it. “I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation.
