  When Donald Trump enters office on Jan. 20, he will immediately start seizing control of the government by firing holdovers from Joe Biden's administration and replacing them with Republican partisans.

The article from Slate discusses how Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, through their opposition to certain labor reforms, have inadvertently supported Donald Trump's agenda by maintaining the status quo at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Despite their moderate or centrist political stances, their actions have effectively blocked changes that would have empowered workers, such as making it easier for workers to organize and negotiate for better wages and conditions. This resistance to labor-friendly policies has preserved a system that Trump, known for his anti-union stance, would favor. The piece highlights how their decisions, like opposing the PRO Act and supporting the filibuster, have had the unintended consequence of aligning with Trump's interests, thereby undermining the potential for significant labor reform.
