Joe Manchin to Continue Caucusing with Democrats in Symbolic Gesture, Retains Energy Committee Chair
May 31, 2024, 03:03 PM
Senator Joe Manchin's office has confirmed that he will continue caucusing with the Democrats for the remainder of his term. This decision ensures that Manchin will retain his position as the chair of the Senate Energy Committee. Manchin's alignment with the Democrats means that there are now four independent senators who caucus with the party, including Bernie Sanders, Angus King, and Kyrsten Sinema. This move is largely a symbolic gesture, as it maintains the current power dynamics in the Senate, allowing Chuck Schumer and the Democrats to organize the Senate agenda.
