Senate confirms Joe Manchin's wife Gayle to $163K-per-year federal post
Fox News
Senate lawmakers confirmed educator Gayle Manchin, the wife of Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, on Thursday to serve as federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission.
Joe Manchin, a moderate Democrat, has emerged as a key voter as the Biden administration attempts to enact its agenda with a razor-thin Democratic majority in the Senate. The West Virginia senator’s support is critical to Biden’s push to pass legislation on infrastructure, tax reform and other initiatives that will require unanimous support within the party. The senator has notably broken with his party on several initiatives favored by progressives, including a push for a $15 federal minimum wage and calls to abolish the filibuster. The Appalachian Regional Commission is a federal-state partnership to boost economic development across 13 states stretching from Georgia to New York.
