Manchin to vote for Trump's attorney general pick

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said Tuesday he will vote to confirm William Barr as attorney general, making him the second Democrat to back President Trump's nominee.

“Today I will vote to confirm William Barr to be the next Attorney General because he is well-qualified and I am confident that he will faithfully execute the duties of the chief law enforcement officer of the United States of America,” Manchin wrote in a tweet.

Manchin’s decision comes as the Senate is poised to take an initial vote on Barr’s nomination later Tuesday.

Barr, who previously served as attorney general under former President George H.W. Bush, will need to get a simple majority of the Senate to overcome the hurdle and ultimately be confirmed.
