Fifteen years ago, we lost twelve brave coal miners who went to work at the Sago mine and never returned home to their families. As a state, we came together after the tragedy to grieve the loss of our fellow West Virginians and support the families and loved ones of those lost. After the disaster, West Virginia worked hard to pass legislation that improved safety standards for our miners who mined the coal that made America the leader we are today. The Sago disaster anniversary reminds us that coal miners risk their lives every day to power our nation, and we must prioritize their health, safety, and security. I will continue to fight to make sure no family suffers this terrible loss ever again. Gayle and I will keep the families and loved ones of those twelve brave West Virginians in our thoughts and prayers.

The Senate voted 81-13 to override President Trump's veto of the FY21 NDAA. Senator Manchin condemned President Trump's reckless decision to veto the vital legislation last month. I am relieved the Senate voted overwhelmingly today to override President Trump's reckless and selfish veto of the NDAA. For over six decades, the NDAA has passed with overwhelming bipartisan support proving that even in divisive times Congress can still come together to support our brave servicemembers and their families while also ensuring America and our allies are secure and protected. I want to thank my Democratic colleagues and most importantly my Republican colleagues for choosing country over party in overriding President Trump's veto of this important legislation. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I will continue to fight for our servicemembers and West Virginia priorities to ensure our nation is protected from threats at home and abroad. Below is a list of priorities included in the FY21 NDAA: Supplying Our Troops with Materials Made in America-Securing our national defense means reducing our dependence on foreign nations for critically important materials, such as: Synthetic Graphite- Senator Manchin's provision ensures that DoD studies the military applications of domestic supplies of synthetic graphite. This supports the important work of companies like Amsted Industries in West Virginia that are proven industry leaders in the development of synthetic graphite. Rare Earth Elements (REE) from Coal Sludge-This provision builds on Senator Manchin's ongoing efforts to increase our domestic production of REEs. It is consistent with the ongoing, innovative research at West … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
