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.
