President Joe Biden on Friday nominated Gayle Manchin to be the co-chair of a federal commission post, according to a White House statement.

Manchin is the wife of the former governor of West Virginia, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV.), who serves a critical part in Biden’s agenda if he wants to get any of his legislative priorities passed in the U.S. Senate, where Democrats currently have a razor-thin majority.
