West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin said Thursday he plans on working with President-elect Trump in the Senate in order to make the government work, instead of being a partisan obstacle to the new administration.

Manchin met with Trump earlier this week to discuss a place in the administration and was criticized by outgoing Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid for moving closer to Trump. But Manchin said on Fox News his job isn’t to be partisan.
