Charleston, WV - West Virginia Republican Party (WVGOP) Chairman Matt Herridge released the following statement on Friday:

“We thought we were done calling out Senator Manchin’s flip-flopping, but it’s too important to ignore right now. In the waning days of the Biden-Harris administration, Joe Manchin is throwing a lifeline to the incumbent Democratic Party that was just emphatically repudiated by the American people. 

Earlier this year, Manchin had pledged that he would not back any Biden-nominated judge who did not have at least one vote of GOP support:

‘Just one Republican. That’s all I’m asking for. Give me something bipartisan. This is my own little filibuster. If they can’t get one Republican, I vote for none.’ —Sen. Manchin

Now, Manchin has changed his tune, saying, ‘We’re in different times right now…’

Senate Democrats are rushing to confirm Biden’s liberal judicial nominees before the party loses the chamber. There are currently 45 vacancies, and the Senate has 20 days left in session. West Virginians expect Manchin to keep his word — not rubber stamp a party whose presidential candidate couldn’t garner even 30% of the vote in the Mountain State.”

CALL SENATOR MANCHIN TODAY AND ASK HIM TO KEEP HIS WORD ON BI-PARTISAN JUDICIAL NOMINEES
