President Biden intends to appoint the wife of the Senate’s top swing vote, West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin III, to a plum federal position that pays upwards of $160,000 annually.
The White House announced on Friday it would nominate Gayle Connelly Manchin, a former president of the West Virginia state board of education, to serve as federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission.
The organization is responsible for spurring economic development and investment in the 13 states that make up the region of Appalachia — which spans from northern Mississippi to Pennsylvania.
If confirmed by the Senate, Mrs. Manchin is slated to replace Tim Thomas, a former staffer for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The role comes with a salary of approximately $163,000 annually, according to a federal pay database.
Mrs. Manchin’s nomination comes as her husband has become a vital political player in Washington, D.C.

That's the way the elite ruling class is supposed to work!...gotta problem with that?? you white privileged deplorable neanderthal!
I have always thought Manchin's attempt to appear to be a moderate democrat was a lie. Now I know it was a lie.
Lie, steal, cheat, and buy that’s the demoncrat way. They will not let the American people decide whats best. They will decide and by any means necessary. The socialist have taken over the country. We need term limits.
Aha - I guess Joe Manchin takes bribes just like the rest of the Democrats. Anything you heard from Manchin about standing up for the rule of law or stepping in on Deocratic suggestions he disagrees with was just advertising bribery. e's as disgusting as all other Democrats.
Now we know Manchin is bought off!
I don't think Biden has a clue nominating anyone the puppet master Obiden is pulling all the strings for the fake president Biden. Really sick of hearing all the bullshit that's coming out of the WH. Really pissed about White House press aholes throwing out OAN.
Not sure what America we live in? Correct Walter Biden just bought him off!
Biden just bought Manchin vote on the fillerbuster. 160 thousand a year job for his wife. This is the corruption in politics.
Dems never earn anything; they just buy or steal what they want.
of course it is a bribe. ahopefully the voters in his district will remember and vote him out and his wife can support him.
