The Regime Media, facilitating Vice President Kamala Harris’s pivot back to the comfortable terrain of abortion, willfully omitted a major detail from their coverage of her call for the Senate to end the filibuster during an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio: Senator Joe Manchin’s (I-WV) subsequent decision against endorsing Harris.

Watch as ABC’s Rachel Scott talked about practically everything related to Harris’s call to end the filibuster except Manchin’s non-endorsement:

RACHEL SCOTT: Harris today leaning into what's become a defining issue for her campaign, abortion, saying she wants to abolish the Senate filibuster to restore reproductive rights as they existed under Roe versus Wade, with a simple majority vote instead of the two-thirds vote now required.

KAMALA HARRIS: I've been very clear. I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom.

SCOTT: Trump has boasted of nominating three of the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe versus Wade, keenly aware he's paid a political price with female voters. The former president now making an all-out appeal to the women who are concerned about abortion rights.

TRUMP: I am your protector. I want to be your protector. As president, I have to be your protector. You will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared. You will no longer be in danger. You're not going to be in danger any longer. You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today. You will be protected, and I will be your protector. Women -- women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion. That's all they talk about. Abortion.

SCOTT: But tonight, a Harris campaign spokeswoman with a blunt response -- "After ripping away our reproductive freedom, now he's trying to tell us how to think."

Today we learn, thanks to Rachel Scott, that it takes 67 votes to break a filibuster, and not 60. Somebody should've really told Scott that the rule is in fact 60, and has been that way since 1975.

No mention whatsoever of Manchin, who pulled his endorsement with plenty of time to spare for the evening news. Here’s how CNN covered that:

Now that Harris has vowed to gut the filibuster on this issue, Manchin said he wouldn’t back her for president.

“That ain’t going to happen,” he said. “I think that basically can destroy our country, and my country is more important to me than any one person or any one person’s ideology. … I think it’s the most horrible thing.”

Manchin, a former Democrat who registered as an independent earlier this year, said he still hasn’t spoken to Harris despite his attempts to do so.

Asked about Harris’ past support for gutting the filibuster, Manchin said: “Well, she said she supported banning fracking too, and she changed that. I was hoping she would change this.”

In other words, Manchin expected Harris to flip-flop on the filibuster for abortion the same way she did for fracking. Unfortunately for Manchin, abortion appears to be a moral issue for Harris. There is no flip-flop.

You’d think the Regime Media would at least mention Manchin, but there wasn’t a peep. Harris’s call to eliminate the filibuster happened on its own and with zero consequence whatsoever. 

CBS’s Robert Costa took a similar track, pivoting off of the filibuster and on to Trump’s related remarks:

COSTA: Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris has returned to a cornerstone of her campaign: reproductive rights, calling for a change to Senate rules to reinstate protections under Roe vs. Wade.

KAMALA HARRIS: I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe. 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom...

COSTA: Last night, Trump also addressed the issue of abortion and said he would protect women.

NBC didn’t even cover the story.

What we’ve learned is that the media are still doing everything in their power to further Kamala Harris’s candidacy, even if this means reporting half a story. If it weren’t for Regime Media, we’d have none at all.

DAVID MUIR: Meanwhile, in the race for The White House, 42 days to go until the election. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on the economy and on immigration this week. Former President Trump in Georgia, Vice President Harris headed to Pennsylvania, and then to the border in Arizona. And the new polling tonight, several new national polls showing Kamala Harris with a slight edge over Donald Trump, but within the margin of error. And in the key battleground states, several states with Donald Trump with a slight edge, others with Kamala Harris with the edge. This is a very close race. Here's Rachel Scott.

RACHEL SCOTT: Tonight, in battleground Georgia, former President Donald Trump zeroing in on the top issue for voters, the economy, promising that if he wins, the U.S. Will scoop up manufacturing jobs from other countries.

DONALD TRUMP: We're going to take their factories. American workers will no longer be worried about losing your jobs to foreign nations. Instead, foreign nations will be worried about losing their jobs to America.

SCOTT: Trump says he'll bring business back home by slashing taxes and regulations, and by imposing sweeping tariffs on foreign imports, something Vice President Kamala Harris says will drive up prices on everything from groceries to gas to medicine. Many economists agree with her. And today, the Senate's top Republican says he does, too.

MITCH MCCONNELL: I'm not a fan of tariffs. They raise the prices for American consumers.

SCOTT: The vice president's team pointing to the more than 700,000 manufacturing jobs created during the Biden/Harris administration. Harris today leaning into what's become a defining issue for her campaign, abortion, saying she wants to abolish the Senate filibuster to restore reproductive rights as they existed under Roe versus Wade, with a simple majority vote instead of the two-thirds vote now required.

KAMALA HARRIS: I've been very clear. I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom.

SCOTT: Trump has boasted of nominating three of the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe versus Wade, keenly aware he's paid a political price with female voters. The former president now making an all-out appeal to the women who are concerned about abortion rights.

TRUMP: I am your protector. I want to be your protector. As president, I have to be your protector. You will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared. You will no longer be in danger. You're not going to be in danger any longer. You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today. You will be protected, and I will be your protector. Women -- women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion. That's all they talk about. Abortion.

SCOTT: But tonight, a Harris campaign spokeswoman with a blunt response -- "After ripping away our reproductive freedom, now he's trying to tell us how to think."

MUIR: So let's bring in Rachel Scott here with us. A rare moment in studio in New York instead of on the campaign trail. We so appreciate your long hours on the campaign trail. So, we've got former President Trump in Georgia, on the economy. We've got Vice President Harris going to Pennsylvania on the economy, and then she's going to Arizona to the border.

SCOTT: Both of these candidates keenly aware that immigration and the economy are top issues to voters. So first, Harris will be delivering that speech on the economy in Pittsburgh, and then, she travels to battleground Arizona with a visit to our southern border. She's expected to tout the Biden administration's executive action that led to a significant drop in the number of migrants crossing the border. She's also expected to say that she would sign that bipartisan border bill into law that Donald Trump urged Republicans to reject, David. 

MUIR: If she’s elected. All right. Rachel Scott here with us in New York. Rachel, great to have you.

NORAH O’DONNELL: With 42 days until Election Day, both candidates are focusing on a top issue for many Americans: the U.S. economy. Vice President Kamala Harris will add details to her economic plans in Pittsburgh tomorrow. former President Donald Trump presented his in Georgia today. And as CBS's Robert Costa reports, one of the cornerstone proposals is already drawing skepticism.

ROBERT COSTA: In battleground Georgia today, former President Donald Trump proposed tax breaks for companies that make products in the U.S.

DONALD TRUMP: Not only will we stop our businesses from leaving for foreign lands but under my leadership we are going to take other countries' jobs.

COSTA: Trump also said he would impose a 100% tariff on cars coming from Mexico.

TRUMP: The only way they’ll get rid of that tariff is if they want to build a plant right here in the United States, with you people operating that plant.

COSTA: But some economists and even members of his own party say tariffs could lead to higher inflation.

MITCH MCCONNELL: I’m not a fan of tariffs. They raise prices for American consumers.

COSTA: It's Trump's first visit to Georgia since a conservative election board that he has praised proved a controversial rule requiring all precincts to hand count ballots in addition to a traditional machine count. That prompted criticism from officials in both parties, including Georgia's Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. 

Do you worry the board’s playing politics? 

BRAD RAFFENSPERGER: Some of their rules would actually delay the process. We don’t think that’s healthy for our Republic at any time, but particularly now when we are so highly polarized.

COSTA: Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris has returned to a cornerstone of her campaign: reproductive rights, calling for a change to Senate rules to reinstate protections under Roe vs. Wade.

KAMALA HARRIS: I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe. 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom...

COSTA: Last night, Trump also addressed the issue of abortion and said he would protect women.

TRUMP: Women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion.

O’DONNELL: That’s disturbing. Robert Costa, thank you very much.
