Senate Republicans are more committed to defeating Joe Manchin because West Virginia could easily determine who holds the Senate majority next year.
Joe Manchin is joining with Republicans to seek a bipartisan energy deal and thwart Joe Biden’s regulatory agenda, while criticizing three of the president’s nominees in a single week.
And the West Virginian is well aware of that limited window to maximize his current role as the GOP’s best bipartisan dealmaking partner and the Senate Energy Committee chair. This week alone, he announced opposition to Biden’s proposed IRS commissioner, tanked the nomination of an FCC commissioner and has “serious concerns’’ about Interior nominee Laura Daniel-Davis.
In his typical style, Manchin says none of those moves have anything to do with his reelection decision. Yet for the moment, the House Republican majority is staying open to collaboration with Manchin on the topic, regardless of his political future — as long as any cross-Capitol compromise delivers a win for them, too.John Curtis

“I do believe I can make a deal with Manchin. I’m not sure how many other Democrats would come on board,” said Wyoming Sen.Manchin said Democrats would “be hypocritical” to shun work on an energy bill just because it’s led by the GOP House. He called his work last year a “roadmap” for Republicans to follow;And he’s putting out feelers of his own.
