The 2017 Pension Political Power 25: Joe Manchin

No. 17 Joe Manchin

17. Joe Manchin
U.S. Senator

Donald Trump may have won West Virginia on a promise to revive the coal industry, but will he stand up for coal miners’ pensions? That’s whatJoe Manchinwants to know. The Democratic senator from West Virginia has led the charge on Capitol Hill to bail out theUnited Mine Workers of America’s health care and retirement funds. This year he helped reintroduce the Miners Protection Act, which would prop up the depleted funds with $3 billion over the next decade; Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked the legislation in 2016. Manchin, 69, has cozied up to Trump, breaking party lines to support several of the new president’s cabinet picks. Representing a Democratic stronghold that backed Trump, he could be in a unique position to broker a bipartisan deal, but he faces a tough 2018 reelection campaign.— Jess Delaney
