President-elect Trump is leaning toward coal-country Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin to head the Energy Department, say sources close to the transition team.
The senator from West Virginia would be the second Democrat that Trump is reportedly considering for a Cabinet post. The Trump team formally announced Thursday that Sen. Heidi Heitkamp from oil giant North Dakota, who opposes President Obama's climate rules and supports the development of clean coal, will be visiting with Trump in New York on Friday.
