Joe Manchin: “January 6th was a dark day here in our Capitol and for our democracy.”

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

We’re trying to build a true independent network.

I will make a decision in January -- at the end of this year.

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