This man is not on your side, he chose money and corporate interests. Just stay out of the race and be happy on your boat with all your millions on the backs of coal miners and the lovely people of West Virginia.
The democrat party left him. So he had no choice , he either had to become a republican or an independent. There was no way he could remain a democrat based on the direction they are taking the country in. He done the right thing.
@@lisaedwards6533 Yeah, the country is going up alright....$$$$$. The taxpayer funded subsidized Ponzi scheme economy is working and helping to drive up the debt and the cost of living. The entire supply chain is financially affected by Biden's policies, regulations and mandates which creates a domino effect BEFORE the groceries even get to the stores. When the stock market hit record highs under Trump, we were constantly told by democrats that the stock market isn't a true indicator of the economy since stocks always go up and down regardless of who is in power. And we were warned what would happen at the borders if Biden eliminated the secure border policies he inherited. As we can see Trump was 100% correct
@@lisaedwards6533 Are you from West Virginia? I am and agree with his move to get out of the party that has every country in the world's needs on the payroll and let's US taxpayers fund their agenda. Even going against the supreme court's ruling in certain cases. But you won't see that on msnbc or cnn.
If Manchin would Repent of past Mistakes . And put America over politics - Endorse TRUMP. People of West Virginia would Forgive him for impeaching Trump Twice . He could go out in peace in WVA . Right now he is so unpopular in WVA ... He can change that ..
Agree. Congress is not 2 teams determined to win over their opponent. Each elected official should vote as he or she believes is best for their state and it's residents, not as if you must defeat the other side or win over them. For this reason I am opposed to the 2 party system and believe we need more varied views.
America does not want assistance from you sir. You had your opportunity to help our country and now that Trump has returned, you now decide to help Trump in any way possible, when you wanted him wrongfully convicted along with your Democrat constituents. I'm an African American woman conservative who voted for Trump again to save our country from bad policies that you voted for. Thank you and God bless.
He's a Republican he's with the racial thing. The filibuster was a racial tool in history. Historians know the filibuster is closely intertwined with the nation’s racial past and present. To be sure, senators have filibustered issues other than civil rights over the Senate’s history. But it is impossible to write that history without recognizing the centrality of race.
Thank you for taking this very brave step. And you're correct-the two party system is broken. Too much hate. I'm registered Republican, but I'm switching to Independent soon.
In 2022, 17.9 percent of West Virginia's population lived below the poverty line. This was an increase from the previous year, when about 16.8 percent of the state's population lived below the poverty line. Great job Senator Manchin!
Your constituency elected you as a Democrat and you should honor that commitment until it is time for your reelection. Rerun as (D), (R) or (I) not (WTF) during your Congressional service!
Senator: This was a brave and wonderful action. We have become overrun with hate politics and partisanship. This has happened in the past and as a nation we have overcome it due to the wisdom of our people. That wisdom is founded upon a willingness to listen to all. Unfortunately, and likely due to the influence of an endless social and network media, the most strident voices have been on the extremes. I lived for many years in WV and have directly seen the value of your work. (I negotiated labor contracts for the Aluminum plant in Ravenswood.). Thank you for staying in the game as a reasonable moderate.
You should have registered as a double agent. FJM. Old a$s voting against young families. Curtailing a lot of Biden's remarkable first two years. Voting against a millionaire tax even though his broke state has no millionaires. Who were you casting your vote for?
Good luck Senator; As a registered Republican I consider you to be a fair minded politician more often than many other’s If elected as an Independent which side of the aisle would you caucus with? Would you continue to act as a Democrat, or would you caucus on the Right?
You are right, Sir. Our system is broken. I have also considered registering as an independent.
Do it
We need folks like him. We need more across the isle type of guys.
You are absolutely right!
You should of left a long time ago

Oh no! The Demoblican left the Democrat Party!! 😂
Bye Felicia!!!
I support and commend you, Senator Manchin!
I believe you are sincere. May God bless, guide, and strengthen you in these most challenging days ahead.
We are constitutional republic, not a democracy.
A republic is a representative democracy, or is made as such anyway.
It's a representative democracy. Take a civics course.

If Manchin runs. So should Kennedy be able to run.
Yes I agree that our country should be independent and join as one to fight against corrupt gov.
Joe Manchin is the 'broken' and corrupt component. Registering Independent did not resolve his opportunistic nature...real scum here!
Please run for president in 24. You would bring healing back to the nation.
Of course, Machin would only be attracting flesh eating maggots.
No healing from this maggot
Thank you Joe! Loved your calling out Janet Yelsin on what they did to your Bill!

You have to have a serious lack of logical reasoning to blame manchin for this. US senators serve a different purpose than governors you know.
Please run for president.
