SCIUTTO To that point ░░░░░░░░ Kennedy he s getting ░░░░░░░░ from inside his state ░░░░░░░░ surprising constituency you might ░░░░░░░░ union representing coal miners ░░░░░░░░ they want him to ░░░░░░░░ his opposition to Build ░░░░░░░░ Better Joe Biden sorry ░░░░░░░░ Manchin marches to his ░░░░░░░░ tune Do you think ░░░░░░░░ could make a difference ░░░░░░░░ Look I think any ░░░░░░░░ from within West Virginia ░░░░░░░░ is going to raise ░░░░░░░░ voice about this is ░░░░░░░░ to matter to Senator ░░░░░░░░ It matters Congresswoman Love ░░░░░░░░ I would I think ░░░░░░░░ say the same thing ░░░░░░░░ your constituents are chiming ░░░░░░░░ on an issue it ░░░░░░░░ Of course it does ░░░░░░░░ matters an awful lot ░░░░░░░░ than some interest groups ░░░░░░░░ across the country that ░░░░░░░░ don t represent you ░░░░░░░░ t elected to represent ░░░░░░░░ that can doesn t ░░░░░░░░ any leverage over how ░░░░░░░░ re going to vote ░░░░░░░░ home state your home ░░░░░░░░ your constituencies is something ░░░░░░░░ different And obviously for ░░░░░░░░ community like the coal ░░░░░░░░ in West Virginia that ░░░░░░░░ such a deep legacy ░░░░░░░░ that state and affiliation ░░░░░░░░ Senator Manchin that he ░░░░░░░░ think is quite proud ░░░░░░░░ putting forward the fact ░░░░░░░░ he will always try ░░░░░░░░ speak for the people ░░░░░░░░ West Virginia When you ░░░░░░░░ loud and clearly constituencies ░░░░░░░░ the coal miners saying ░░░░░░░░ if you re going ░░░░░░░░ do that we want ░░░░░░░░ to change your vote ░░░░░░░░ think that matters SCIUTTO ░░░░░░░░ sorry LOVE But remember ░░░░░░░░ is Virginia Remember what ░░░░░░░░ with Youngkin and the ░░░░░░░░ he was able to ░░░░░░░░ And the way that ░░░░░░░░ was able to do ░░░░░░░░ was because he was ░░░░░░░░ to his constituents He ░░░░░░░░ listening and laser focused ░░░░░░░░ what was going on ░░░░░░░░ Virginia So I think ░░░░░░░░ this is a lesson ░░░░░░░░ Virginia is not happy ░░░░░░░░ the bill as it ░░░░░░░░ currently So Joe Manchin ░░░░░░░░ actually doing I think ░░░░░░░░ President a favor and ░░░░░░░░ a favor by saying ░░░░░░░░ am not going to ░░░░░░░░ go along to get ░░░░░░░░
