[FoxNews via Lucianne] President Biden has picked the wife of an extremely influential U.S. senator for a federal commission post, the White House announced Friday. Biden nominated Gayle Conelly Manchin to co-chair the Appalachian Regional Commission, an economic development partnership with 13 states designed to boost investment in the Appalachian Region.
I mentioned yesterday that Manchin was being contrary about the filibuster and gun confiscation just to boost his price. Who knew this all it took.
Manchin is an educator, past president of West Virginia's State Board of Education and the former first lady of West Virginia.
The Appalachian Regional Commission includes the governors of each of the 13 Appalachian states and the Federal Co-Chairperson who is appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. It operates with about a $165 million budget.
