Yea no kidding huh? They're not supposed to just tote the party line, they're known as "elected representatives" for a reason.

Nope. Pass the increase and let states opt out. Then the pressure is on those states, from their constituents instead of a top-down order from Washington.

Solved.

MAnchin has never been out in position where his vote could decide something

the article says otherwise:

"During the Senate’s recent marathon voting series, it was obvious why Manchin’s vote is so tantalizing to Republicans. He was the deciding vote on several amendments, siding with the 50 GOP senators on protecting federal funds for houses of worship and pushing back against an Obama-era water regulation.

And perhaps the most important major issue where Manchin will side with the GOP is on the minimum wage. He simply seems immovable on his opposition to a $15 national hourly rate.

Manchin was with his party over the past week when it mattered though: He voted against GOP efforts to withhold funding to schools with vaccinated teachers that aren’t reopening, spurned a Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) effort to make it harder to expand the Supreme Court and sided against Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) effort to crack down on Biden’s “catch-and-release” immigration policies. And then he voted to approve the budget and move forward Biden’s agenda, for now at least"

The Democrats took the White House and The Hill yet their agenda hinges on West Virginia.

Leftists don't understand individualism of any kind. Anything out of lockstep group think does not compute.
