About Joe Manchin

Joseph Manchin III (born August 24, 1947) is an American politician and businessman serving as the senior United States senator from West Virginia, a seat he has held since 2010. Originally a Democrat, he was the 34th governor of West Virginia from 2005 to 2010 and the 27th secretary of state of West Virginia from 2001 to 2005. Manchin called himself a "moderate conservative Democrat" and was often cited as the most conservative Democrat in the Senate; he registered as an independent in 2024. Despite his previous party affiliation, he supported many policies by President Donald Trump and opposed many policies by Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden. After the 2020 elections, in which the Senate was split 50-50 with Vice President Kamala Harris as a tiebreaker, Manchin gained attention as his vote was required to pass legislation with only Democratic support. Manchin announced that he would retire after his current term.
