“The secretary is planning to have a conversation with Sen. Manchin today. I’m not going to …talk about the details of conversations between the secretary and individual members of Congress,” Defense Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters at the Pentagon.
Kirby said he did not know of “any other discussions” Austin might have with other members of Congress.
Politico first reported that the administration was seeking Manchin’s support, with the White House directing Austin to reach out to the West Virginia Democrat.
Manchin has not publicly commented on Kahl’s nomination and did not attend his confirmation hearing last week. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

WASHINGTON: Speeding information from strategic sources to the battlefield is a key goal as NGA works through how to best support the US military’s evolving approach to All Domain Operations, says Maj. Gen. Charles Cleveland, head of NGA’s Operations Division.
As NGA, like the rest of the US national security establishment, pivots away from counter-terrorism to great power competition, he told the Intelligence National Security Alliance today, leaders are “watching the way of war evolve” as the services figure out “what their future warfighting strategies and capabilities are going to be” and the Joint Staff works to stitch those together in the new Joint Warfighting Concept, due this month.
