Joe Manchin: “We are going to be in this political battle on the Senate floor, yelling at each other.”

We’re trying to get a person who can be committed to — and totally committed to – being an independent with an independent voice.

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.

We’re not trying to start another party.

We don't even have a budget anymore.
