Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat who has encouraged President Joe Biden to reverse course on canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, announced on Wednesday that he will vote to confirm far-left Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM) to head the Interior Department.

“Given the political divisions currently facing our country, I believe that every presidential nominee and every member of Congress must be committed to a new era of bipartisanship,” Manchin said in a statement. “That is the standard the overwhelming majority of Americans expect and deserve.”
