Manchin opposes Dale Ho for NY court seat.
Senator Joe Manchin will vote against the confirmation of Dale Ho as a judge on the Southern District of New York, citing Ho's "extreme left" views. Ho, a voting rights attorney and director of the ACLU's voting rights project, has faced conservative criticism for his past advocacy work and social media posts. Manchin's opposition narrows Ho's path to the federal bench, but he still has support from other Democrats.
