Summary
Democratic lawmakers, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, criticized Trump for failing to address rising food costs despite campaign promises to lower prices “immediately.”
In a letter, they accused Trump of focusing on mass deportations and January 6 pardons instead of tackling grocery inflation, which rose 1.8% in 2024, with egg prices up 36.8%.
Trump’s administration defended its actions, citing efforts to reduce inflation by cutting energy costs.
He’s been replaced by our former governor, a Trump loving Republican. What people don’t understand is that Manchin was the only Democrat capable of being elected to national office in West Virginia. Yeah he sucked hard, but you’ll never see another Democrat get elected in West Virginia outside of local office in the cities.
That sadly might be a good thing, a true enemy is better than a false friend.
He at least voted majority with the party. Jim Justice will vote with Trump 100%
He did? I remember him basically voting “No” on everything.
Then demanding a bunch of compromises from Obama and voting no anyway despite being given everything asked for.
He did indeed vote with the Democrats the majority of the time. Sometimes, sometimes very important times, he and Krysten Sinema decided to fuck things up. This is why he was always in the news and you got that impression.
As always, if there were a few more votes this country would be on a very different trajectory.
