Joe Manchin Refuses to Endorse Kamala Harris Over Filibuster Controversy

In a recent political clash, Senator Joe Manchin has declared that he will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris following her vocal support for eliminating the Senate filibuster to codify abortion rights. Manchin condemned Harris's position, stating, 'Shame on her,' in reaction to her call for a filibuster carve-out to pass nationwide abortion protections. Harris's campaign emphasizes the need to restore reproductive freedoms previously ensured by Roe v. Wade, but her stance has drawn significant backlash not only from Manchin but also from Senator Kyrsten Sinema. The tension highlights a deep divide within the Democratic Party over the use of the filibuster and the future of abortion rights legislation.
