Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) slammed President Joe Biden over his decision to enact restrictions on oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Biden administration negotiated a deal with environmental groups to curb gas and oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in order to protect Rice's whales, an endangered species, the Oil and Gas Journal reported. The news was not met well by Manchin, who derided the move as jeopardizing energy security in the United States.
Manchin's latest hit against Biden comes as rumors swirl about a possible third-party presidential run from the centrist Democrat. The West Virginia senator has remained ambiguous about a possible run.
