It ain’t that hard. Manchin isn’t the only one allowed to strongarm.

The way I'm reading it is that there's nothing Manchin cares about enough that they can take. As long as he's been a Senator, whatever pet things he wants he's either already gotten or wasn't likely to get in a divided Senate anyway. This would work with a first-term Senator probably, but not likely here.
