Pence-linked group launches $800K ad campaign in West Virginia praising Manchin
A conservative group run by Marc Short, who served as former Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, is set to launch an ad campaign to encourage Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va) to oppose the $1.7 trillion social spending and climate package in an attempt to stop it from being passed.
The ‘Coalition to Protect American Workers’ is set to launch an ad campaign worth nearly $800,000 this week in West Virginia. According to NBC News, the ads will air over two weeks and will reiterate issues that Manchin has raised about the social spending package in the past.
"Families are worried Biden picks right now to try and raise taxes on hard-working West Virginia families while giving huge tax cuts to millionaires," one of the ads state. "Fortunately Joe Manchin's got our backs. He understands the importance of putting West Virginia people ahead of Washington politics. Tell Manchin keep fighting for us."
Regarding the ad campaign targeting Manchin, Short told NBC News in a statement, "President Biden’s policies are far beyond the mainstream and Sen. Manchin is holding the line," adding that Manchin "deserves thanks for representing the interests of West Virginia families by slowing reckless spending and massive tax increases.”
