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 — two days after the West Virginia moderate announced his opposition to Democrats’ 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’s mind isn’t exactly open to persuasion as he heads into this meeting, so, we asked some of the participants how they plan to approach it. Here’s what we heard back. Raghu Manavalan is the host of POLITICO's Playbook. Jenny Ament is the senior producer for POLITICO Audio. Irene Noguchi is the executive producer of POLITICO Audio.
