Find Out Appropriate Comma:


Former Vice President Joe Biden has signaled an openness to gutting the filibuster to advance the
Democratic agenda if he's elected President and his party retakes the Senate a move that would squelch
the power of the GOP to pare back his ambitions.

But he could have Sen. Joe Manchin standing in his way.


The West Virginia Democrat told CNN that he would oppose his party's effort to get rid of the filibuster
a stall tactic frequently used by the Senate's minority party and that requires 60 votes in the chamber to
overcome.
"That's bullshit " Manchin said this week when asked about the Democratic push to eliminate the
filibuster. He noted that he opposed the Democratic effort in 2013 to eliminate the filibuster on most
presidential nominees. "And I would be opposed to it again."
"The whole intention of Congress is basically to have a little bit of compromise with the other side"
Manchin said. "Our job is to find common and cooling ground if you will to make something work that
makes sense."
