Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is the Senate's most famous centrist, often being the crucial factor in throwing a wrench in the Democrats' plans. His refusal to always vote along party lines has drawn the ire of liberal Democrats and the sympathy of Republicans.
His habit of breaking with the Democrats, and his ability to reach across the aisle, has helped to fuel speculation that he may run for president in 2024.Here are five times Manchin has split with Democrats during his time in the Senate.In one of his most recent major splits with Democrats, Manchin signaled that he would vote with Republicans to rescind a major new crime bill, which would reduce the sentence of some violent crimes.
His siding with Republicans on the issue all but ensured that the law would pass through the Senate. Coupled with President Joe Biden's pledge to sign the bill, the decision by the Council of the District of Columbia is all but dead in the water. “At a time when our country is already facing economic uncertainty, record inflation, and increasing energy costs, it is irresponsible of the Biden administration to jeopardize retirement savings for more than 150 million Americans for purely political purposes,” he said in a statement. “I’m proud to join this bipartisan resolution to prevent the proposed ESG rule from endangering retirement incomes and protect the hard-earned savings of American families.”Manchin partnered with Sen.
"The reports about President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents are extremely irresponsible and disturbing,” Manchin told Fox News. “These allegations should be investigated fully.”
