Manchin says will support Biden’s health sec. pick
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin (pictured) stated on Thursday he will support United States President Joe Biden’s Health secretary candidate Xavier Becerra.
“While Attorney General Xavier Becerra and I have very different records on issues like abortion and the Second Amendment, he has affirmed to me his dedication to working with members on both sides of the aisle to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the numerous needs of our nation in a bipartisan way,” Manchin said in a statement.
The West Virginia senator’s vote could turn out to be essential for Becerra’s approval, as it is uncertain if any Republicans will support Biden’s pick.
