WV Sen_JoeManchin was the biggest loser in politics in 2022, writes ZacharyFaria.
Manchin’s permitting reform bill has crashed and burned, marking the third time he tried and failed to pass the bill. His most recent attempt was to add it as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, which required 60 votes to approve. It only got 47.Manchin had made a deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to pass his permitting bill if Manchin would only vote in favor of the Inflation Reduction Act, the climate change bill that Democrats pretended would help inflation.
But the Inflation Reduction Act passed in August thanks to Manchin, but his own permitting bill has not. So Manchin made a deal where he would give up the only leverage he had to convince Democrats to support his bill in exchange for a promise that they would get back to his bill later. Then Democrats voted it down.
Whatever chance Manchin had of defying political gravity in a 2024 reelection campaign is likely gone now. Manchin torched his image as a centrist Democrat in a red state by signing onto a climate change bill that made inflation worse in exchange for nothing more than a verbal promise that his party would help push his own bill across the finish line. It was a completely foreseeable failure, and yet Manchin blundered his way out of influence — and in the end, probably out of office.
