Manchin's official Twitter account posted the tweet Wednesday morning, one day after the senator voted against the GOP tax-cut plan. But by the afternoon, the office had deleted that picture and reposted the tweet with a picture of the two men standing alongside each other, instead of one where the two men were giving a thumbs-up sign.

Manchin's office did not immediately return a request to explain the decision to swap out the photo.

Few Democratic senators would be likely to pose for photos with Trump, but Manchin is an exception.
