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 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 yet 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."

The House passed the Build Back Better Act earlier in November after months of negotiations between progressive and centrist Democratic lawmakers.

The only ones getting their taxes raised would be the rich coal mine owners.
