Manchin open to making filibuster more 'painful,' reiterating support for the process

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin wants the filibuster to be more “painful” for use by the minority party, reiterating his support for the Senate procedure.

“The filibuster should be painful. It really should be painful,” he told Fox News’s Chris Wallace on Sunday. “And we have — we’ve made it more comfortable over the years, not intentionally, maybe it just evolved into that. Maybe it has to be more painful. Maybe you have to stand there. There’s things we can talk about.”
