But Manchin has also clarified the paths that are open to Democrats. The party can now let go of its dreams of sweeping legislative change achieved through repeated 51-vote Senate majorities and instead focus on the realistic options. Today’s newsletter explains those options, broken into short term and long term. What now? The issues that tend to unite the Democratic Party are economic issues, and Manchin is a good case study. When he breaks with his party, it is typically on issues other than economic policy. He effectively killed the voting rights bill this week, and he voted for Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation in 2018. Manchin is also well to the right of most congressional Democrats on abortion and gun policy. Yet he has often stuck with his party on taxes, health insurance, labor unions and other pocketbook issues. Like every other Democrat in the Senate, Manchin voted against both Donald Trump’s [attempts to repeal Obamacare](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRipGyZP0ToaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOC8wOS8wOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9tYW5jaGluLXdlc3QtdmlyZ2luaWEtaGVhbHRoY2FyZS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMTA2MTAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MzI2NzEmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTYwMzI5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpguZnnwWAKBqCwUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) and the 2017 Trump tax cut that was skewed heavily toward the rich. Earlier this year, Manchin voted for Biden’s $1.9 trillion virus rescue bill. Without his vote, that bill would not be law. On all these issues — economic and otherwise — Manchin’s votes tend to reflect the majority opinion of his constituents. West Virginia is a working-class state, and American working-class voters tend to be [culturally conservative and economically progressive](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRipGyZP0TXaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOC8wNC8yMy9vcGluaW9uL2RlbW9jcmF0cy1lY29ub21pY3MuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjEwNjEwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTMyNjcxJm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD02MDMyOSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYLmZ58FgCgagsFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). Polls show that most favor abortion restrictions, tight border security and well-funded police departments — as well as expanded Medicare and pre-K, a higher minimum wage, federal spending to create jobs and tax increases on the rich. “Manchin is a pocketbook Democrat, not a social warrior,” Carl Hulse, The Times’s chief Washington correspondent, told me. This pattern suggests that Manchin may be willing to support versions of the next two major items on Biden’s agenda: [an infrastructure bill](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRipGyZP0ToaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNi8wOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9pbmZyYXN0cnVjdHVyZS1iaWRlbi1yZXB1YmxpY2Fucy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMTA2MTAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MzI2NzEmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTYwMzI5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpguZnnwWAKBqCwUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) and [an “American Families Plan”](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRipGyZP0T1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNC8yOC91cHNob3QvYmlkZW4tZmFtaWxpZXMtcGxhbi1hbWVyaWNhbi1yZXNjdWUtaW5mcmFzdHJ1Y3R1cmUuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjEwNjEwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTMyNjcxJm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD02MDMyOSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYLmZ58FgCgagsFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) to expand child care, education and other areas. Manchin’s support is certainly not guaranteed, partly because he does not like to look partisan. And congressional Republicans seem likely to oppose Biden’s upcoming bills, [much as they opposed](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRipGyZP0T3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wMi8wNC9icmllZmluZy9iaWRlbi1zdGltdWx1cy1tY2tpbnNleS1vcGlvaWQtc2V0dGxlbWVudC1vbHltcGljcy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMTA2MTAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MzI2NzEmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTYwMzI5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpguZnnwWAKBqCwUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) the virus rescue bill and legislation from both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. The default position of today’s Republican Party, [with rare exceptions](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRipGyZP0ThaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNi8wOC9icmllZmluZy9pbnZlc3RtZW50LXNlbmF0ZS1jaGluYS1iaWxsLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIxMDYxMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zMjY3MSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NjAzMjkmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmC5mefBYAoGoLBSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), is unanimous opposition to any bill that a Democratic president proposes. But Manchin has been willing to provide the deciding vote on economic policy before, even along partisan lines. When he does, he sometimes demands high-profile concessions that burnish his image as a bipartisan figure who’s to the right of most Democrats — but that alter the bill in only modest ways, [as my colleague Jonathan Martin has noted](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRipGyZP0T1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNi8wMi9wb2RjYXN0cy90aGUtZGFpbHkvam9lLW1hbmNoaW4tam9lLWJpZGVuLWRlbW9jcmF0aWMtcGFydHkuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjEwNjEwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTMyNjcxJm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD02MDMyOSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYLmZ58FgCgagsFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). If Manchin had provided the deciding vote for the voting rights bill, it arguably would have been unlike any other vote he had cast in his career. The same would not be true of a vote for the infrastructure bill or the families plan. People gathered near the Supreme Court yesterday calling for the Senate to pass a voting rights bill.Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters The Democrats’ future What about the longer term for the Democratic Party? Some Democrats are worried that the lack of a voting rights bill will doom the party to election losses starting in 2022. But that seems like an overstatement. The voting restrictions being passed by Republican state legislators are worrisomely antidemocratic and partisan in their intent, many election experts say. And they may give Republicans an unfair advantage in very close elections. But it seems likely they will have only a modest impact, as Nate Cohn, who analyzes elections for The Times, [has explained](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRipGyZP0TfaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNC8wMy91cHNob3QvZ2VvcmdpYS1lbGVjdGlvbi1sYXctdHVybm91dC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMTA2MTAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MzI2NzEmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTYwMzI5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpguZnnwWAKBqCwUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). Democrats can still win elections. Manchin happens to be a useful guide on that topic, too.

To varying degrees, some other Democrats from red or purple states, like Senators Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, offer similar lessons. [So did Obama](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRipGyZP0S9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2xvd2JvcmluZy5jb20vcC9vYmFtYS1wYW5kZXI_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIxMDYxMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zMjY3MSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NjAzMjkmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmC5mefBYAoGoLBSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), who fared better with working-class voters than many other Democrats. This approach is the only evident way for Democrats to stem their losses in recent years among working-class voters — and not only among the white working class.

With only one or two more senators from purple or red states, the party might well be able to defang the filibuster and pass ambitious legislation on a range of issues. The Democrats’ problem isn’t so much Joe Manchin as it is the dearth of other senators who are as good at winning tough elections as he is.

These spaces have long told the stories of German, Irish, Italian and Jewish immigrants, and a few years ago expanded to include Chinese and Puerto Rican families. Now, as the museum reopens after being closed during the pandemic, it is finally addressing an omission in its accounts of the neighborhood’s history by working on an exhibit about a Black family, along with a walking tour that covers nearly 400 years of local African-American history. “The museum has always looked at the question of how people become American,” Lauren O’Brien, a lead researcher on the projects, told The Times. “But what does it mean to be born an American, but not seen as an American?” Though the new apartment won’t open until 2022, visitors can see a preview of the exhibit starting next month. The museum is also updating all its current tours to account for how race shaped the opportunities available for predominantly white immigrants.
