Joe Manchin, former US Senator and Governor for West Virginia, says Democrats can overplay their hand if they make impeaching President Donald Trump a priority after taking control of Congress. Manchin says Democrats should instead pass legislation addressing tariffs and public officials profiting from their positions and “try everything possible to put the genie back in the bottle.” Manchin says Trump will have to work with Congress because executive orders “only go so far and only last so long.” He speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on Bloomberg’s "Balance of Power."
