Joe Manchin

Joe Manchin is a U.S. Senator from West Virginia, known for his centrist and often unpredictable political stance. He previously served as the state's governor and is a member of the Democratic Party. Manchin often acts as a swing vote in the Senate, meaning his support or opposition can influence major legislation, especially on issues like energy, healthcare, and the economy. His approach reflects a focus on pragmatic solutions and the interests of his constituents, which sometimes puts him at odds with his party's more progressive wing.
