Congresswoman Kathy Manning, representing North Carolina's 6th district, has recently shared her views on various political issues through a series of tweets. Manning, who succeeded Mark Walker in 2021, is known for her educational background with degrees from Harvard University and the University of Michigan. In her recent posts, she addresses topics ranging from public education to healthcare and women's rights.

On November 1, 2024, Congresswoman Manning criticized certain factions within the Republican Party regarding their stance on public education. She stated: "While extreme MAGA Republicans attack public education, Democrats are fighting to invest in our students and teachers." This tweet highlights the ongoing debate over educational policies between Democrats and Republicans.

In another post dated November 4, 2024, Manning focused on healthcare during National Diabetes Month. She noted the impact of recent legislation on insulin pricing: "Thanks to Democrats’ #InflationReductionAct, insulin is now capped at $35 a month for seniors, and we Democrats will keep fighting to cap the cost of insulin for all Americans." This statement underscores Democratic efforts to make healthcare more affordable.

Later that day, Manning addressed reproductive rights in light of former President Donald Trump's policies. She tweeted: "Because of Donald Trump, one in three women live in a state with a Trump abortion ban. Now, his extreme Project 2025 plans aim to impose a 50-state backdoor abortion ban without the approval of Congress." Her comments reflect concerns about potential nationwide restrictions on abortion access.
