Joe Manchin: I'm putting my PAC's money where bipartisanship is
·1 min
Last month, a US Senator declared independence from political parties and pledged to fight for America’s sensible majority. They aim to bring everyone to the negotiating table to find common-sense solutions for the country’s challenges. The Senator believes that the national politics are broken, making it difficult to find common ground. To address this issue, the Senator plans to turn a PAC into a bipartisan fund that supports Democrats, Republicans, and independents committed to working across party lines. They have already chosen three candidates who have a track record of bipartisan work and passing meaningful legislation. The goal is to support representatives who prioritize the country’s interests over party affiliations. The Senator acknowledges that their donations cannot fix the broken system, but hopes it sends a message that everyone should contribute to changing it. They are seeking candidates who resist party purity tests and embrace bipartisanship to represent Americans who feel left behind by both major parties. The PAC’s support will be an investment in good governance rather than a reward for bad behavior.
