Senator Joe Manchin Photo: Michael Brochstein/Zuma PressJoe Manchin ’s decision Thursday not to run for re-election to the Senate and instead explore whether he can “mobilize the middle” in American politics has Democrats in a tizzy, and we can see why. They’re one seat closer to losing their Senate majority in 2024. And they especially fear that the West Virginia Democrat might run as a third-party presidential candidate on the No Labels ticket, steal votes from President Biden, and elect Donald Trump.

Manchin’s Permitting Bill Has a Poison Pill
  + stars: | 2022-09-27 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The Senate may vote as early as Tuesday on Joe Manchin ’s permitting reform bill, and the West Virginian says Republicans should accept incremental progress rather than nothing. But the main problem isn’t that his changes are too modest, though they are. Some of them would do tangible harm to U.S. energy security and constitutional federalism.

The 1935 Federal Power Act preserved state authority over transmission-line permits while the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) decides how to allocate costs.
