Joe Manchin reminds GOP senators who their boss is

Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) suggested Republican senators need to remember “who your boss is” in retaking the Senate, reminding them that it is “not the president.”

Manchin, who did not seek reelection in 2024, addressed the debate among Senate Republicans over who should succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as conference leader. In giving his two cents on the matter, Manchin suggested that “likability” is a key factor for Senate majority leaders to have, as being able to work with others is a vital part of the role.
