Senator Joe Manchin is causing more problems for the Biden administration by opposing the upcoming end to Title 42. The West Virginia Sen. is urging the Biden administration to reconsider stopping the Trump-era health order after multiple outlets reported the policy is set to end as early as May 23.

The Hill reports:

“Oh my goodness. Just watch the news y’all put out every day, what’s coming across,” Machin said.

Manchin had previously expressed his opposition to lifting Title 42 — making him one of just a handful of Democrats to do so as President Biden largely faces pressure from within his party to scrap what many see as an illegal and inhumane policy.

“With encounters along our southern border surging and the highly-transmissible Omicron BA.2 subvariant emerging as the dominate strain in the United States, now is not the time to throw caution to the wind,” Manchin wrote in a Tuesday letter to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky.

“I urge you to again renew this commonsense policy that has been in effect—under both Republican and Democratic Administrations—since March 2020.”

The letter urged Dr, Walensky to extend the policy after the CDC said it would review the policy through March 30th.
