Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) offered President Joe Biden rare praise in an op-ed on Monday, praising the administration's successes in nergy productioon.
Manchin claimed that Biden should be proud of the “record-breaking” energy production that is happening in the country, including the production of oil, gas, and renewable energy.
“I’m going to do something you probably haven’t heard me do much in the past three years: I want to congratulate President Biden for the record-breaking energy production we are seeing in America today,” Manchin op-ed. “Our country has never been more energy-independent than we are today. This is something to celebrate.”but claimed the administration would not be touting these successes on the campaign trail, or to media outlets, out of fear it would anger
“It seems some of the president’s radical advisers in the White House are so worried about angering climate activists that they refuse to speak up about these accomplishments,” Manchin wrote. “The result is that a president who was elected as a centrist is being dragged further and further to the left.”The topic of energy has become a controversial one, with members of the far left urging the administration to lower energy production in the U.S.
Manchin, who will depart the Senate in January, helped secure the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in 2021 and has largely stood by the legislation, but he has also accused the administration of trying to manipulate it and trying to use the funds too broadly.
