Did Manchin get swindled by his own party, or is this a convenient excuse to try desperately retain 15% of the vast number of votes he is going to lose in his next election?

Manchin deal with Schumer to spur oil and gas drilling jeopardized by far-left Democrats

Sen. Joe Manchin's dealmaking skills are being questioned as progressives line up to oppose an oil permitting bill the West Virginia Democrat wants to see pass Congress.

Sen. Joe Manchin's deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for an oil and gas permitting bill in exchange for the West Virginia senator's support for the White House's $739 billion climate change spending and tax hike, signed into law last week by President Biden, is in jeopardy, as progressives say they are not bound by any agreement and vow to oppose the legislation.

Critics say that Manchin gave up leverage to get the permitting bill through the House by helping Democrats first pass the Inflation Reduction Act through a party-line process known as budget reconciliation.

"Manchin was so eager to side with President Biden that he shoved spending down America’s throat based on the falsehood that liberals would allow more domestic oil pipelines, Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W.Va., told Fox News Digital. "They won't."

I don't agree. Manchin seemed to be central, that narrative has now been thrown out the window.

Now it appears, he is learning that his own party may have betrayed him. Time will tell.

Welcome to politics child. Manchin and Sinema did the same thing earlier this year.

No, Manchin is just an opportunist looking out for Manchin. Any stray from the demmunist agenda is just an attempt at political wedge.
