Joe Manchin: “Anyone that doesn't think that's true they are deniers.”

I will make my political decision in December, whatever it may be.

When you like both people and both sides, you can sit down with both sides, you can agree to disagree, you can try to find compromise and make things happen.

The way the parties have weaponized the political process today, they make it impossible to have a 'D' or an 'R' next to your name and speak to the other side.

The pledge is simply this: that you remain independent and not be part of the Democrat or Republican system.
