at every commercial break it was call Senator Manchin.
One ad was from Americans for Prosperity, call Senator Manchin and tell him to stop Biden's socialist infrastructure bill. The other came from The Susan B. Anthony Left. It was call Senator Manchin and thank him for stopping the infrastructure plan that will pay for abortions with taxpayer money.
I wonder why there are no ads saying call Senator Manchin and tell him we need new bridges, roads and high speed internet. Seems to me all the pressure is coming from Republicans.
I live 8 miles from WV and have never heard of anything that the infrastructure program could do for WV. They have talked about extending I-68 from Morgantown to Moundsville on the Ohio river for decades for one thing. Maybe if the people in WV new something about what it can do other than pay for abortions or make WV a socialist hell hole Senator Manchin would be forced to support it.

14. K&R

[brooklynite]

19. He's working for the voters of West Virginia, who are happy with those statistics.

[aocommunalpunch]

21. He works for the donations given by the donor class.

10/10 Occams agree.

22. Suspect that if they change the climate change components of the bill, Manchin will support it

No doubt, he is supporting the coal industry, but many West Virginians are dependent on that industry, so he could claim he is representing the interests of his state.
