Manchin becomes first Democrat to back Haspel
By Jordain Carney - 05/09/18 03:00 PM EDT

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said on Wednesday that he will vote for CIA Deputy Director Gina Haspel to lead the spy agency.

Manchin is the first Democrat to come out in support of Haspel, bolstering her chances of being confirmed despite engrained opposition from progressive senators and allied outside groups.

"I have found Gina Haspel to be a person of great character. Over her 33 year career as a CIA operations officer, she has worked in some of the most dangerous corners of our world and I have the utmost respect for the sacrifices she has made for our country," Manchin said in a statement.

Sounds like Manchin might be worried that Dem blue wave isn't all it's cracked up to be?

Ain't a single one of them doesn't know how broke the party is.

It's sink or swim and Manchin's dog paddling.
