Democrat Senator Joe Manchin has now announced that he will be refusing to support President Biden’s proposed nominee to head the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Robert Califf.
As The Daily Wire reports:
Manchin noted that he had opposed Califf’s nomination when former President Barack Obama first put him forward as the nominee in 2016, and he said that West Virginians had suffered during his brief tenure (February of 2016-January 20, 2017) in the role.
“Manchin to oppose nomination of Robert Califf to run FDA: My opposition is nothing new. In fact, it was exactly five years ago next week that I came to the Senate floor to urge my colleagues to oppose Dr. Califf’s nomination to serve under then President Obama in the same role,” Fox News Congressional reporter Chad Pergram tweeted.
“Manchin: In the five years since Dr. Califf was confirmed, more than 400,000 Americans, and 5,000 West Virginians have died from drug related overdose….Califf bears a great deal of responsibility for these deaths,” Pergram continued, reporting Manchin’s comments.
Manchin’s math appeared to be slightly off, as Califf’s confirmation actually took place six years ago in February of 2016.
The news comes in the wake of Manchin’s opposition to Biden ‘Build Back Better’ agenda, which effectively killed what would have been a major achievement of the Administration.
