Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., on Monday came out against the nomination of Sarah Bloom Raskin for a top position on the Federal Reserve, saying that he's "unable" to support Raskin over her stance on inflation and energy costs.
"I have carefully reviewed Sarah Bloom Raskin's qualifications and previous public statements," Manchin said in a statement. "Her previous public statements have failed to satisfactorily address my concerns about the critical importance of financing an all-of-the-above energy policy to meet our nation's critical energy needs,"
"I have come to the conclusion that I am unable to support her nomination to serve as a member of the Federal Reserve Board," the senator added.
Raskin, who President Biden nominated in January to be the Fed's next vice chair for supervision, served as the deputy secretary of treasury under former President Obama. She is also a former Fed governor.

I love these types of stories. They're just so moral and above all of us, right.
While the real story is that Biden appoints a congressman's wife (to be fair, with relevant experience), not to better regulate the banking industry, but to institute CLIMATE policies, which have NOTHING to do with banking or the fed.
“not to better regulate the banking industry, but to institute CLIMATE policies”
This repurposing of institutions to get around laws and the Constitution has to stop.
Good, she dropped out.
Any comment in this report about the Raskin’s sketchy $1.5 million deal deal with Reserve Bank she scored while with the Obama administration?
Didn’t think so.
Heard she’s toast already so........... As for the “XXX, who’s made millions from XXX, is blocking/approving candidate XXX for.......... ?” could be applied too many places so becomes meaningless any more. They are, for the most part, in it to line their own pockets. Constitutents? Pffffftttttt!
Remind the “Global Warming” fraudsters that it is their agenda funding Putin’s war on Ukraine, higher fuel prices, and inflation.
Hey MSN - ever heard of Hunter Biden? And his single digit IQ dad that you butt kiss hourly?
Thought so.
Shove it up your collective and very corrupt collective Obamaholes.
Nice try, butt-wipes.
CLIMATE friend...... COMMUNIST.
I believe Raskin removed her nomination.
CLIMATE friend...... COMMUNIST. Sorry, she is JEWISH, so its MARXIST,
“climate-friendly” is certainly a loaded term...assuming a narrative that the climate is friends with those who have the idea that more CO2 in the atmosphere is dangerous to the climate. Since this narrative is bogus the term is merely presumptive language selling the narrative by assuming it and going further to how we should be concerned...
She and her fugly evil husband should be SHUNNED.
A Senator doing what’s best for his state?
Oh, the horror
/s
“Raskin is just one of four other nominees….”
Very poor syntax. Nice going, “journalist.’
we don’t need any more Ratskins around, period.
Maybe, just maybe, Manchin is pro-coal because the economy of the state THAT HE REPRESENTS is heavily dependent on coal production. Maybe he is reflecting the the interests OF HIS CONSTITUENTS. Such a novel idea to the MSM.
Glad he made money supplying Americans with electrcity. Hope he makes even more.

The bottom line should be...she is married to a sitting congressman. This is intolerable.
“The bottom line should be...she is married to a sitting congressman. This is intolerable.”
It’s how it goes. Mitch McConnell got his wife a cabinet post in the last two Republican administrations.
