Sanders’ op-ed in a West Virginia paper laid out how Biden’s social spending package could help the historically poor state. Manchin fired back: “This isn’t the first time an out-of-stater has tried to tell West Virginians what is best for them.'
Joe Manchin and Bernie Sanders, not pictured above, both serve on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s leadership team and come from polar opposites of the Democratic Caucus. | Win McNamee/Getty ImagesBernie Sanders has been calling on Joe Manchin to support President Joe Biden’s full agenda for weeks. On Friday night, Manchin signaled he’s had enough of that.
Sanders has taken his campaign to pass Democrats' $3.5 trillion spending proposal to media venues across the spectrum, including Fox News. Manchin has occasionally responded, albeit not in the fashion he did on Friday night. Sanders’ move to land an op-ed in Manchin’s backyard seems to have crossed the line for the West Virginia senator.
Sanders’ office ran a draft by Manchin’s after the op-ed was submitted to the paper but before it published, according to aides in both offices. Both senators serve on Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s leadership team and come from polar opposites of the Democratic Caucus. They are often diplomatic, even when disagreeing in public.
