Manchin, as well as a number of centric Republicans, have climbed against Tanden’s nomination over tweets in the past and they have criticized senators on both sides of the aisle, saying to confirm it would diminish President BidenJoe BidenHoyer: House will vote on COVID-19 relief bill Friday.

“He is a senator who believes that we should have more politeness, more cooperation between the parties, that is his objection to Neera Tanden. Of course, I do not agree with him. I think Neera would actually contribute to the dialogue in Washington. I actually think she will do a great job. “Despite the tweets, her history of her work shows this,” Klain told MSNBC.

‘But look, Senator Manchin, he does not answer us in the White House. He answers the people of West Virginia. He believes this is the right voice for him, “he added. ‘I respect Joe Manchin’s right to cast these votes. He’s an independent senator, that’s what he’s going to do. We in the White House, we are going to present our case to him and all the other Democrats and Republicans in the Senate on these key votes. ”

The lukewarm praise for Manchin comes after the West Virginia Democrat, who has long nurtured a reputation for having an independent series, said he would oppose the nomination of Teeth. A number of other Republican swing votes soon followed.

While the White House disagrees with Manchin over his vote on Teeth, Klain noted that he still needs to maintain a positive relationship with the senator to advance his other priorities, including a $ 1.9 billion coronavirus relief package that a include minimum wage increase up to $ 15 per year. hour which Manchin opposes.

“Of course we do not agree, but we are obviously happy to give his support to other nominations. We are obviously working hard to get his support for the US rescue plan,” Klain said.

In a 50-50 Senate, Teeth now needs at least one Republican to vote to confirm her, an increasingly difficult question as centrist Republicans say they have lost their support.
