In many cases Manchin votes with republicans, eliminating the majority advantage in the house. Senate is 50-50 split so no advantage there. In addition, bills require 60 votes to pass. The majority of the time republicans, democrats as well, vote strictly party lines. Many bills never get to the floor for vote so any advantage is meaningless.
