WASHINGTON (AP) – Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin says he wasn’t swayed by civil rights leaders who implored him to back his party’s sweeping voting rights bill. The West Virginia moderate says that Tuesday’s meeting was “excellent” but that nobody “changed positions.” A participant said Manchin was “fairly well dug in.” Manchin’s opposition has effectively doomed a key Democratic priority in the Senate. Senate Democrats have said they are open to changes to try to address Manchin’s concerns. But it’s unclear whether that will be enough. Republicans are staunchly opposed to the bill and vow to block it in the Senate.
