Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin sat with his Republican colleagues during President Joe Biden's State of the Union address.
A spokesperson for the West Virginian told CNN that Manchin chose his seat “to remind the American people and the world that bipartisanship works and is alive and well in the U.S. Senate.”The senator has said he cannot support the trillions of dollars in spending when the nation is dealing with an inflation problem.
Progressive Democrats have expressed disappointment in Manchin for stalling Biden's agenda, which would include extending the child tax credit and providing more money for climate change initiatives.
