West Virginia independent Senator Joe Manchin says he will not endorse Kamala Harris for president, after she reiterated her support for ending the Senate filibuster. Harris told Wisconsin Public Radio this week she would seek to lower the threshold to pass legislation from 60 senators to a simple majority of 51 in order to restore abortion rights lost when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. That prompted this response by Senator Manchin.

Sen. Joe Manchin: “Shame on her. Shame on her. She knows that the filibuster is the Holy Grail of democracy.”

Senator Joe Manchin previously joined Republicans to filibuster the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would have codified abortion rights into federal law.
