Manchin’s Approval Is in the Toilet
After selling out West Virginia energy workers by voting for President Joe Biden’s $800 billion “Inflation Reduction Act” In August, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin’s approval rating fell.
The results of a new poll released this week show that things have not improved with time. This puts into question Manchin’s chances of re-election in 2024.

According to Forbes The Inflation Reduction Act is actually worse than inflation and increases the deficit. It is the largest handout ever given to climate change groups in U.S. History.
The Inflation Reduction Act, (IRA), is the most significant climate legislation ever passed in America. Energy Innovation Policy and Technology LLC® modeling finds the IRA’s $370 billion in climate and clean energy investments could cut U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions up to 43% below 2005 levels by 2030.
Although the transition to clean energy is already underway, we need to accelerate coal retirements in order reach our climate goals. The IRA will accelerate the transition from coal to clean energy and support a fair transition by providing $5 billion to back $250 Billion in low-cost loans to utilities to reduce their coal debt and reinvest into clean technologies. Another provision provides financial assistance of $9.7 million to rural electric cooperatives in order for them to shift towards clean energy.
While Manchin’s approval rating in China continues to drop, the Senator spent some time this week at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

At this year’s Davos gathering, the central call-to action was combatting “climate change,” This will be at the expense Americans and West Virginia voters.
