HUNTINGTON, W.Va.—President Donald Trump said Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh “doesn’t count,” because the senator waited to back Trump’s Supreme Court pick until after it was clear Republicans had enough votes.
“Joe will never be with us in terms of the vote,” Trump said at a Nov. 2 rally in Huntington, West Virginia. “He’ll be with us in a lot of ways. We’ll go to dinner with him. We’ll take him out. We’ll like him. But he’s never going to vote for us.”
