West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin has benefited from waiting to reveal where he stood as the swing vote in a chamber closely divided between Democrats and Republicans.
Frustrated father of Ribault Middle School student wants answers after he says bus didn’t show up twice this weekWest Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin speaks with reporters outside the newly renovated Amtrak train station in Charleston, W.Va. on Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023 – Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia has benefited from waiting to reveal where he stands as the swing vote in a chamber closely divided between Democrats and Republicans.
Manchin's visit included the metal plant, which began being revitalized during his governorship, and an Amtrak station renovated with infrastructure funds he helped secure. He told reporters he was “getting closer” to a 2024 decision, repeating his line that he'll make an announcement before the end of the year. But he deflected questions about his identity as a Democrat, which he's held since first running for West Virginia's House of Delegates in 1982.
Some progressive Democrats over the past few years have grown weary of Manchin. His vote is one of two they've had to beg, convince and cajole in a 51-49 Senate — but his nearly constant chides at many fellow Democrats, particularly President Joe Biden, left them concerned he could switch parties and take away their slim hold on power.
Robert Rupp, a retired political history professor at West Virginia Wesleyan, called Manchin one of the most successful campaigners in recent state history because of his personal relationships with constituents. He spoke about American political unrest, and said the democracy is still an experiment after 240-plus years, “one that could fail at any time.”
