Joe Manchin: Vote on Brett Kavanaugh hinges on Obamacare

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s views on Obamacare will affect the lawmaker’s decision to confirm him.

“The Supreme Court will ultimately decide if nearly 800,000 West Virginians with pre-existing conditions will lose their healthcare,” Manchin said, referring to a case winding its way through the courts challenging the legality of Obamacare. “This decision will directly impact almost 40 percent of my state, so I’m very interested in his position on protecting West Virginians with pre-existing conditions.”
