'''Joseph Manchin''' was elected in November 2010 as the United States Senator from [[West Virginia]], filling the seat formerly held by the late [[Robert Byrd]].  Because Manchin was filling a vacant seat in a special election, he was sworn in almost immediately and then participated in the [[lame duck]] session of [[Congress]] prior to 2011.
 +
 
 +
Manchin portrayed himself as a [[conservative]] in order to be elected, campaigning against the positions of the [[Democratic Party]] leadership on:
 +
 
 +
*[[cap and trade]]
 +
*[[gun control]]
 +
*Bush tax cuts
 +
 
 +
Manchin was previously the Governor of West Virginia.
