Democrats appear ready to jettison the Senate filibuster in pursuit of stricter federal gun control legislation, but at least one key swing vote, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), says he will not vote to end the filibuster in order to pass two House-drafted anti-gun bills.
CNN’s Manu Raju spoke to Manchin Wednesday morning and it appears the moderate Democrat — and the one legislator Democrats truly need to pass gun control, with or without the filibuster — is not interested in making the change.
“Manchin told me ‘no’ he won’t support gutting 60-vote filibuster rule even if Manchin-Toomey bill is blocked again,” Raju noted on Twitter, referring to a 2013 compromise bill that Manchin authored, which would have required background checks for all commercial gun sales, including those at gun shows and online.
