Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) Really (R-W.VA.)
Manchin is a Democrat who supported Clinton in the general election, but he is expected to emerge as a pivotal Trump ally in the next Congress.
Manchin says he's already spoken to Trump more times since the election than he has spoken with President Obama over the last eight years.
He was under consideration to serve in Trump's Cabinet but recently announced he plans to stay in the Senate.
"My job as a senator is to do everything I can to help him," the native West Virginian said on "Fox and Friends" this month. "And if I do disagree - respectfully disagree - I'm not calling people names."
Manchin is running for reelection in 2018 in a state that Trump won with a greater percentage of the vote than in any other state.
