Joe Manchin: “We have to continue in that mindset of energy independence.”

She's an American senator that represents her state of Maine ... the most independent minded person I've ever met.

The way the parties have weaponized the political process today, they make it impossible to have a 'D' or an 'R' next to your name and speak to the other side.

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

They don't believe in these extreme causes and going to the extreme mats and fighting each other and hating the other side.
