Geee Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Washington Examiner Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin opted to sit with Republican members during Tuesday's State of the Union rather than his Democratic colleagues. The West Virginia senator instead sat between GOP Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker and Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, directly behind Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst. As Biden gave his address, Manchin remained seated and refrained from clapping as others applauded the president for lauding items within his Build Back Better bill, including the expanded Child Tax Credit that expired in December, which Manchin opposed. During parts of the address, Manchin was spotted leaning over to speak to Romney on several occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
