Timeline

1947

Joseph Manchin III (born August 24, 1947) is an American politician and businessman serving as the senior United States senator from West Virginia, a seat he has held since 2010.

Joseph Manchin III was born on August 24, 1947, in Farmington, West Virginia, a small coal mining town.

He is the second of five children of Mary O. (née Gouzd) and John Manchin.

The name "Manchin" was derived from the Italian name "Mancina".

His father was of Italian descent, and his paternal grandparents emigrated to the United States from the town of San Giovanni in Fiore, in Calabria.

Manchin's maternal grandparents were Czechoslovak immigrants.

Manchin's father owned a carpet and furniture store, and his grandfather, Joseph Manchin (Giuseppe Mancina), owned a grocery store.

His father and his grandfather each served as mayor of Farmington.

Manchin's uncle, A. James Manchin, was a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates and later served as West Virginia Secretary of State and Treasurer.

1965

Manchin graduated from Farmington High School in 1965.

He entered West Virginia University on a football scholarship in 1965, but an injury during practice ended his football career.

1970

Manchin graduated in 1970 with a degree in business administration and went to work for his family's business.

Manchin has been a close friend of Alabama Crimson Tide football coach Nick Saban since childhood.

1982

Manchin was elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1982 at age 35 and in 1986 was elected to the West Virginia Senate, where he served until 1996.

1988

In 1988, Manchin founded Enersystems, a waste coal brokerage company based in Fairmont, West Virginia.

1996

He ran for governor in 1996, losing the Democratic primary election to Charlotte Pritt.

At that time, he supported the Republican candidate for governor, Cecil Underwood, who went on to win.

2000

Manchin was president of Enersystems until 2000, when he entered politics and gave control of the company's daily operations to his son, Joe Manchin IV.

At some point during his tenure as governor, Manchin moved his Enersystems holdings into a blind trust.

Manchin was elected Secretary of State of West Virginia in 2000, defeating Libertarian candidate Poochie Myers, 89.4% to 10.6%.

2003

In 2003, Manchin announced his intention to challenge incumbent Democratic Governor Bob Wise in the 2004 Democratic primary.

2004

Manchin won the 2004 West Virginia gubernatorial election by a large margin and was reelected by an even larger margin in 2008.

2005

Manchin was the 34th governor of West Virginia from 2005 to 2010 and the 27th secretary of state of West Virginia from 2001 to 2005.

2010

He won the 2010 special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by incumbent Democrat Robert Byrd's death with 53% of the vote, and in 2012 was elected to a full term with 61% of the vote.

He opposed President Barack Obama's energy policies, including reductions and restrictions on coal mining; voted against cloture for the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 (not voting on the bill itself); supported President Donald Trump's border wall and immigration policies; and voted to confirm most of Trump's cabinet and judicial appointees, including Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Since his election to the U.S. Senate in 2010, Manchin has listed AA Properties as a non-public asset on his annual financial disclosures.

AA Property is reportedly 50% controlled by Manchin, and has, among other things, been an investor in Emerald Coast Realty, which owns a La Quinta hotel in Elkview, West Virginia.

2011

Since passing legislation with only Democratic support required Manchin's vote, he wielded a large influence in the 117th Congress.

2015

He became the state's senior U.S. senator when Jay Rockefeller left office in 2015 and has since been West Virginia's only congressional Democrat.

Before entering politics, Manchin helped found and was the president of Enersystems, a coal brokerage company his family owns and operates.

2017

On the other hand, Manchin voted against repeated attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, voted against the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, voted to convict Trump in both of his impeachment trials, voted against Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court, voted to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, and was a Senate sponsor of the Inflation Reduction Act.

He is among the more non-interventionist members of the Democratic caucus, having repeatedly called for the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and opposed most military interventions in Syria.

2018

Manchin won a second term in 2018 with just under 50% of the vote.

In both elections, he over-performed the Democratic presidential ticket by more than 40 percentage points.

Since 2021, Manchin has been the only Democrat holding statewide or congressional office in West Virginia, and represents what is, by a large margin, the most Republican-leaning constituency of any Democrat in Congress.

Manchin has called himself a "centrist, moderate, conservative Democrat" and is generally deemed the most conservative Democrat in the Senate.

2020

After the 2020 elections, Manchin became the "most important swing vote" in the Senate, which was split 50–50 between Democrats and Republicans, but controlled by Democrats because Vice President Kamala Harris was the tiebreaker.

In a financial disclosure from 2020, Manchin reported that his non-public shares of Enersystems were worth between $1 million and $5 million and that between 2011 and 2020 he was paid $5,211,154 in dividend income from them.

In 2020, he received over $500,000 in dividends.

Enersystems is 71% of Manchin's investment income and 30% of his net worth.
