Senator Joe Manchin is chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. There is no excuse for that.
lol Joe Manchin brags about sinking Build Back Better in an ad he just cut for a Republican candidate for Congress. Democrats were never going to get this guy on board for any part of their agenda.
