Is Sen. Joe Manchin Plotting His Escape From Washington? It Certainly Looks That Way

“The Hill reports that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is considering leaving the Senate before the 116th Congress is over or after the 2020 election.
Manchin told The Hill he is frustrated by the “lack of bipartisan cooperation” and the “legislative stalemate” in Congress. He also “accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of turning the Senate into a “legislative graveyard.” The centrist Democrat from West Virginia became especially annoyed over the slow progress of a disaster relief bill last month and according to a Democratic senator, he spoke of “retiring before the end of the 116th Congress.” The anonymous Senator said that Manchin was fed up and told him, “‘I’m out of here. I’m going to be out of here.'”
The Hill spoke to two of his colleagues in the Senate. One said of Manchin, “All he says is, ‘I’ll be here until 2020.’”
