Joe Manchin: “Education is the great equalizer. It is the thing that has made this country what it is today”

We’re not trying to start another party.

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.

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.
