Manchin, Joe

Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) represented West Virginia in the U.S. Senate from 2010 to 2025, establishing himself as one of the chamber's most pivotal swing votes on major legislation. The former governor and coal broker became nationally prominent for his centrist positions, often serving as the decisive vote on climate policy, infrastructure spending, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Manchin's trading activity has been notably modest compared to many colleagues, with just 3 disclosed transactions between April 2017 and November 2023, totaling an estimated $66,000 to $165,000. His limited portfolio included positions in regional financial institution Huntington Bancshares (HBAN), energy company Terex Corporation (TEX), and community bank Western Alliance Bancorporation (WEST), with no recorded trading activity in recent months leading up to his decision not to seek reelection in 2024.
