WASHINGTON (TND) —

Sen. Bernie Sanders went after moderate Democrats Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., on Twitter Monday, pressuring the two members of Congress to help their party change the Senate’s rules in order to get election and voting reforms passed through Congress.

“As the voting rights bill finally comes to the floor of the Senate, there is only one vote which will really matter,” Sanders wrote on Twitter. “Will 50 Democrats vote to override the filibuster, protect American democracy and pass the bill, or will Manchin and Sinema vote with the GOP and let the bill die?”
