Witches curse US lawmaker for voting down Joe Biden’s spending bill

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin announced his opposition to Biden's bill

A coven of witches in the US have cursed a senator for opposing one of President Joe Biden's spending bills. The witches called for others to join them at a famous tree in Kentucky to cast a spell on West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin. It's after he confirmed he would not support the president's bill that aims to provide $2.2 trillion (£1.6 trillion) for a variety of social benefits. The Build Back Better Act would provide money to fight climate change, subsidise childcare and lower the cost of prescription drugs. Manchin is a crucial player in deciding whether the bill gets through the US Senate. So on a local witches Facebook page, the coven invited others to join them at The Witches' Tree on December 21 to curse Manchin. The Witches' Tree is a landmark in Old Louisville that has become a source of local legends involving witches and witchcraft, according to CityBeat.
