Senate Democrat Joe Manchin said he will support the Biden administration’s latest pick for the role of the US Department of Labor’s top wage regulator after he was instrumental in tanking the previous nominee, David Weil.

Manchin—as well as Senate Democrats from Arizona Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly—voted against Weil.
