Departing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Sen. Joe Manchin III is clearly angling for a position in president-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

Manchin is meeting with Trump on Monday, and Reid said the West Virginia Democrat is looking for a job in the Cabinet.

”Joe Manchin obviously is running for a Cabinet spot,” Reid said in an interview on CNN. “I know that we’ve done stuff in the last few weeks to try to make Manchin happy so he’d be another Democrat, at least temporarily.”

Reid was seemingly referring to last week’s shutdown drama, where Democrats united behind Manchin over coal miners’ health care. Manchin had indicated that Democrats could block a must-pass resolution funding the government in a push to expand the health care program which is about to become insolvent.

Incoming Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-NY, publicly backed Manchin’s effort. Schumer also named Manchin to his leadership team for the next Congress.
