The New York Post reports that Joe Manchin was the deciding vote to kill a ban on taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for minors that would have been included in the Senate’s must-pass defense authorization bill.
Manchin joined his Democrat colleagues in voting along party lines to strike down the proposed ban, which was just one vote short of passage.
