    He’s a “moderate centrist” in the sense that he’s basically the median senator. Which honestly says more about the Senate than it does about him or his politics.

    He votes with Biden about 90% of the time, though. He’s obstructed some big parts if the Democratic agenda, but if you’d rather have another Republican like Shelly Capito in his seat then you’re nuts. At this point, the chance of replacing him with even a mainstream Democrat is basically nil. That whole state has swung very far right.
