Joe Manchin: “You are trying to implement a Bill you never passed. This is not the BBB, this is the IRA.”

We’re not trying to start another party.

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.

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

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