Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) declined to say when asked if he wants Democrats to keep control of the House and Senate after the 2022 midterms.
“Do you want the Democrats to keep control of the United States Senate and House of Representatives” in November? NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Manchin in a Sunday interview with “Meet the Press.”
“I’m not making those choices or decisions on that. I’m going to work with whatever I have. I’ve always said that. I think the Democrats have great candidates that are running. They’re good people I’ve worked with. And I have a tremendous amount of respect and friendship with my Republican colleagues. So I can work on either side very easily,” Manchin said in response.
“I think people are sick and tired of politics, I really do. I think they’re sick and tired of Democrats and Republicans fighting and feuding and holding pieces of legislation hostage because they didn’t get what they wanted,” he said, adding that he’s “not going to predict what’s going to happen.”
Furthermore, the Democrat senator added he “can’t decide what’s going to happen in Kansas or California or Texas,” adding, “I respect the state for the people they send, and I give it my best to work with them, to do the best for my country. I don’t play the politics that way.” Schumer Deal
It comes days after he and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced a surprise deal on alternate legislation to the so-called Build Back Better platform, known as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Manchin was booked to appear on five news shows, including NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
