Manchin wanted the Republicans to win the Senate to stop the plot of the Democrats

Former senator Joe Manchin, Iw.va., wanted the Republicans to win the Senate last year in order to prevent the continuation of the Democrats from “raw political power”.

In his new book, “Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense”, which will be released on Tuesday and obtained by Fox News Digital, the former Democrat of Virginia-Western who has become independent was torn in his former political party, tore the former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden and exploded the chief of the minority of Senate Chuck Schumer, Dn.y.

Manchin made waves when he and former Kyrsten Sinema senator from Arizona, who also left the Democratic Party to become an independent, jostled Schumer and voted against this transition to Nuke the Senate’s filibustier in 2022.

He recalled this vote in his book and the pressure he felt of Schumer and the Democrats of the Senate to comply with this and other key votes during the presidency of Biden.

Manchin accused Schumer of wanting a vote he “could disseminate on the radical left to prove his loyalty” and declared that the head of the majority then sensitive did not really believe that getting rid of obstruction was the right thing to do, but rather to fulfill his “only priority” to maintain control of the Senate.

“Because of what I knew – and what I had seen from the first hand – I wanted the Republicans to win the majority of the Senate in 2024,” wrote Manchin. “I thought it was the only hope of preserving the Senate as an institution. I really thought that, if in power, the Republicans would support the Flibustier, the last railing preventing the total partisan rule.”

“Schumer and the Democrats had already shown their hand-eliminating the filibuster would have been their first order of business,” he continued. “They had no interest in protecting the role of the Senate as a deliberative organ. They only cared about raw political power.”

The quest to put an end to the filibusier is also the reason why Manchin does not approve of the former vice-president Kamala Harris in his race against Trump.

“She knew it was the Holy Grail and the only hope that we must preserve all bipartisme and maintain our democracy,” said Manchin.

He also described an early fight he had with Biden where the Democrats were trying to reach an American rescue plan of $ 1.9 Billion in the first months of his presidency in a uniformly divided Senate, Manchin rejected him.

Biden tore MANCHIN for obtaining an early victory.

“While the drama started, I received a call from the president and it was hot,” wrote Manchin. “” If you kill this F – Bill, I will never talk to you again, “he promised. Whoever knows Joe Biden – and I have known him for a very long time – knows that he has a very bad character. He calls him his” Irish “. I call him unhappy.

“” Your actions are reckless “, I spat in return.” You send AF – Check to everyone. And if you missed someone, it was only by mistake. “”

The legislation finally adopted after a compromise reached, but Manchin noted that he had later regretted “capitulating on the American rescue plan”.

He also described that he had a much better relationship with Trump, whom he considered a “foreign” colleague, than Obama, and noted that Obama contacted him twice throughout his presidency: once after winning the Senate re -election in 2012 and again in 2015 to persuade him to vote against his nuclear agreement with Iran.

“From the start, President Trump had an open communication line with me. I told him more in the first two years of his presidency than what I did to President Obama during the eight years of his mandate,” said Manchin.

Fox News Digital contacted the offices of Schumer, Obama and Biden to comment but did not immediately hear.
