Republican senators are attempting to persuade Democratic moderate Sen. Joe Manchin (WV) to swap parties and join the GOP amid his disagreements with President Joe Biden’s agenda.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) have made overt attempts recently to convince Manchin to become a Republican. If Manchin were to make the move, the GOP would take over as the majority party in the Senate.

McConnell has ramped up his efforts to persuade Manchin since the Democrat had a falling out with the White House over the weekend. Manchin said publicly last week that he was a hard no on Biden’s signature Build Back Better legislation as it is currently written. The White Houose responded with an open statement torching the West Virginia senator.
