"Some White House and Republican officials are exploring the idea of
putting West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin in charge of the
Energy Department, according to four people familiar with the
discussions, a move that could boost President Donald Trump’s stalled
legislative agenda."
"If Manchin were offered and accepted the position, that would allow
West Virginia’s Governor Jim Justice -- a newly minted Republican -- to
appoint a GOP successor and bring the party a vote closer in the Senate
to being able to repeal Obamacare. The idea is in the early stages of
consideration, and it’s unclear whether it has support within the
administration, according to the people, who described the conversations
under condition of anonymity."
