At every step of his political career, Senator Joe Manchin III has helped a West Virginia power plant that is the sole customer of his private coal business, including by blocking ambitious climate action.

Guest: Christopher Flavelle (https://www.nytimes.com/by/christopher-flavelle?smid=pc-thedaily), a climate reporter for The New York Times.
