Joe Manchin actually said...

"student loan forgiveness, as it is currently being considered and discussed, would greatly benefit those who truly are not in need of it."

"Senators Manchin and Toomey (R-PA) introduced a bill to ensure that what happened in West Virginia could never happen again."

"I hope we can set partisan politics aside and pass a bill with meaningful investments that support fair access to quality education for all students."

"On behalf of the great people of West Virginia and my entire State, our deepest sympathy to the families of the children and the teachers who were lost in Uvalde in a horrible tragedy."
