This will be interesting if Joe's next race is for president. It could still work out for her depending on the Republican candidate.

Meh, who cares, a DINO and a RINO.

Murkowski is a neocon-robber baron and Manchin is trying hard to show how open minded he is. This is the kind of political shit that makes politicians look like the phony assholes that they are.

Once again tax increases for Americans is @ the heart of the social liberals agenda. Not a word about cutting existing federal social programs to pay the never ending growth of debt spending,. Just eliminating BATF, HUD, FBI & the World Cop program would save the taxpayers a virtual fortune! Of course senators Manchin & Murkowski are spanking each others monkeys like they are sleeping in the same big g'ment bed!!!

Manchin says Build Back Better is 'dead.' Here's what he might resurrect.

In an interview, the pivotal West Virginia Democrat emphasized a desire to "fix the tax code" and discussed policies he can support.

The debt spending is to pump the markets. I'm all for ending that.

Murkowski to Biden: Pick SCOTUS nominee who can get GOP votes

"I would be honored to be able to support an exceptional African American woman,” she said.

www.politico.com

excerpts:

Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Sunday encouraged President Joe Biden to choose a Supreme Court nominee who could receive broad bipartisan support and not pick the one that would be "to the furthest left."

“I want to make sure that the president nominates an exceptional candidate, an exceptional individual, and I would be honored to be able to support an exceptional African American woman,” Murkowski said.

Murkowski is widely viewed as one of the most likely Republican senators to support Biden’s pick. She has backed 79 percent of Biden’s judicial nominees this Congress and voted last year to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Jackson is viewed as a frontrunner for the Supreme Court seat.

Democrats can confirm whoever Biden picks without GOP support, as long as all 50 Democrats are present and support the nominee. Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) have yet to break with the president on a single judicial nominee. During his CNN appearance Sunday, Manchin said that all of the potential candidates mentioned thus far are “extremely qualified” and predicted whoever Biden picks “will get a majority of votes, it’ll get 60 or more.”

“It goes back to his words at the prayer breakfast. How are we going to unify? What is it that we need to do?,” Murkowski said Sunday. Picking an individual who can get broad bipartisan support “sends a signal to the public that maybe, maybe the courts are not as political as the legislative and the executive branch.”

Murkowski is nearly as dead to Alaskans as Liz Cheney is to Wyoming.

Will get primaried again, and less likely to win as an "independent" than the last time around.
