Joe Manchin: “The Federal Government has not kept that promise.”

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.

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.

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