Swing Vote Sen. Joe Manchin Says He Will Not Dump Filibuster For Gun Control

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.
