June 8, 2021: Manchin comes face to face with his critics, but what's next?
A host of Black and civil rights leaders will visit Sen. Joe Manchin to discuss voting rights this morning \u2014 two days after the West Virginia moderate announced his opposition to Democrats\u2019 top legislative priority on the matter, the For the People Act (aka H.R. 1/S. 1). Those who know Manchin tell us the senator\u2019s mind isn\u2019t exactly open to persuasion as he heads into this meeting, so, we asked some of the participants how they plan to approach it. Here\u2019s what we heard back.\xa0\nRaghu Manavalan is the host of POLITICO's Playbook.Jenny Ament is the senior producer for POLITICO Audio.\xa0Irene Noguchi is the executive producer of POLITICO Audio.
