Throughout his tenure in the Senate, Sen. Joe Manchin often served as a thorn in the Democrats’ side by cementing himself as a centrist roadblock to many of their agenda items.
Here’s a roundup of the times Manchin clashed with Biden ahead of his retirement announcement that could play a role in the 2024 cycle:During Biden’s first two years in the White House, Manchin supported the president’s policies and voted in line with his position a majority of the time, according to data compiled by FiveThirtyEight. However, that support saw a significant drop after the 2022 midterm elections, as Manchin entered the last stretch of his Senate term.
Manchin and fellow centrist Sen. Kyrsten Sinema played a key role in negotiating the legislation, as the two positioned themselves as holdout votes due to several provisions in the bill. The pair of senators helped scale back the size and scope of the legislation, particularly how much the bill would cost the government if implemented.
A spokesperson for Manchin said the senator voted against her confirmation to avoid elevating “partisan advocates” to partisan courts, especially at a time when voters have lost faith in the country’s judicial system. Abudu was still confirmed to the position despite Manchin’s opposition due to the absence of three GOP senators.
