Manchin signals willingness to back Biden's final push on judges

[CatWoman]

Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.V.) suggested Thursday that he is open to voting for Democratic judicial nominees, even if they can't secure any Republican support.

Why it matters: Manchin pledged in the past he would only vote for nominees who could get at least one GOP vote. His reversal could be key to Democrats reaching a key milestone on federal judges.

Manchin told Axios that "we're in different times right now" when asked about his previous pledge, adding that "my Republican friends are under the microscope."
