Along with Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, Manchin has thrown sand into the gears of President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda, for Manchin it is about the money. States like Ohio are bringing technology jobs to their State, while Manchin is satisfied with keeping the citizens of West Virgina slaves to the coal mines. So, he can keep his pockets filled with coal barons' money.
While Democrats, especially those in the party’s progressive wing, have vented their frustrations at Manchin, deep-pocketed donors have poured campaign cash into his coffers. Though, Manchin didn’t get much support from West Virginia donors in the fourth quarter, wonder why?
Looks like Simema is after Coal Money too, with a crucial vote pending over filibuster rules that would have made strong voting rights legislation feasible, Democratic senator Kyrsten Sinema flew into Houston, Texas, for a fundraiser that drew dozens of fossil fuel chieftains, including Continental Resources chairman Harold Hamm and ConocoPhillips chief executive Ryan Lance.
