Joe Manchin: “Sooner or later we are going to have to use the resources we have not to be dependent on foreign oil.”

We got a runaway debt. We got inflation that's killing people. We've got an unsecured energy. We have a border that's out of control.

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

We’re not trying to start another party.

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.
