Joe Manchin isn't feeling the love in West Virginia after a recent climate and social spending deal with his Senate Democrat colleague, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

A group of West Virginia-based coal industry groups condemned Manchin for the deal he brokered last week, arguing that it could eliminate up to 381,000 blue-collar jobs.

"This legislation is so egregious, it leaves those of us that call Sen. Manchin a friend, shocked and disheartened," the group wrote, according to The Hill.

Yet, they will still reelect him. Senator of West Virginia is a lifetime position. Look at Senator Byrd.
