Joe Manchin actually said...

"What we had was a great -- we had a respectful, we had a very informative and very good conversation and it was the start of a good relationship, it really was."

"I will not vote for that huge bill to regulate elections and campaign finance and combat voter suppression."

"I don’t think so, because we have seven brave Republicans who continue to vote for what they know is right and facts as they see them, not worrying about political consequences."

"I have always said, if I said I can’t go home and explain it, I can’t vote for it. And I can’t explain strictly partisan election reform or blowing up the Senate rules to expedite one party’s agenda."
