Manchin says he will vote for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson
Also claims he wants to talk about climate and social spending bill
From the Senator:
After meeting with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, considering her record, and closely monitoring her testimony and questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, I have determined I intend to vote for her nomination to serve on the Supreme Court.

Given his past statements on various legislation and his later vote, I’ll believe it when I see it.
More Manchin:
Sen. Joe Manchin III has restarted talks with fellow Democrats about reviving the party’s climate and social spending bill, according to two people familiar with the matter https://t.co/QCIJmEzu5h

Didn't he say last month that this was dead? Not sure where I saw it, but the midterm elections may significantly erode his influence on legislation.
