In a new letter to the president sent Tuesday, Manchin argued that pipelines are “the safest way to transport our oil and natural gas resources and support thousands of well-paid American union jobs.”
“I encourage you to reconsider your decision to revoke the cross-border permit for the Keystone XL pipeline and to consider the possible impacts of any other action on safety, jobs and energy security,” he added.
Republicans have also backed down the move to revoke the pipeline’s border crossing permit, but in recent days, Biden has also heard criticism from allies.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka recently said that he the president wished he had not canceled leave on the first day in office and instead paired it with an ad about job creation.

However, Democrats later passed a final budget resolution that did not include the Keystone language.

And Biden said in an executive order when he revoked the project’s permission It “serves” the national interest of the United States and that “leaving the Keystone XL gas pipeline permit in place would not be consistent with the economic and climate imperatives of my Administration.”
Manchin will be a key Democrat in the future on energy, as he is now the chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. He is also the most moderate member of the caucus and could be a decisive casting vote on certain issues.
However, legislation restoring the pipeline permit is unlikely to gain strength among both Senate and House Democratic leaders.
