"Manchin Indicates Opposition To Biden Lands Nominee Over Internal Memo"

"Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is putting the future of one of President Biden’s nominees to the Interior Department in question.

Manchin is indicating that he’s set to withdraw his support from Laura Daniel-Davis, who Biden nominated to serve as assistant secretary of the Interior for land and minerals management.

Manchin heads the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee, which has jurisdiction over the nominee. Democrats also only have a one-seat majority on the panel."
