WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Senator Joe Manchin said on Wednesday he will vote against Daniel Werfel for Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commissioner, a week after President Joe Biden’s nominee to head the agency was approved by a Senate committee.
“While Daniel Werfel is supremely qualified to serve as the IRS Commissioner, I have zero faith he will be given the autonomy to perform the job in accordance with the law and for that reason, I cannot support his nomination,” Manchin said in a statement.
