Joe Manchin: “I would say the rise of Iran as a potential hegemon in the Middle East is really the greatest threat we face.”

My observation, and recommendation from observation, would be, John, trust me, set yourself free and become an independent.

We don't even have a budget anymore.

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