Joe Manchin: “We are intending to get this bill and have a bill on the floor before we have a recess this summer.”

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

We don't even have a budget anymore.

We’re not trying to start another party.

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