Sink or Swim

Joe Manchin Sink or Swim Climate Policy

Senator Joe Manchin could be the decisive vote on President Biden's climate provisions bill. His home state ranks #1 most exposed to flooding in the nation, according to nonprofit organization First Street Foundation. Over 60% of West Virginia's power stations are at risk -- twice the average and the highest in the nation. While Manchin's constituents will suffer significantly from the worsening effects of climate change, the centrist Democrat is resisting rescue.
