Manchin backs GOP hopefuls in pivotal Maine and Michigan Senate races
TL;DR
Former West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, now an independent, said on CNBC that he supports two Republican Senate candidates—Mike Rogers in Michigan and Susan Collins in Maine—as the battleground races could determine which party controls the chamber. He praised Collins and Rogers as independent-minded Republicans, and said he would campaign with Collins. Manchin also noted Rogers should denounce Trump’s trade policies to win, and indicated he hasn’t endorsed Michigan’s Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed. He’s continued to push for more independents in politics, with polling showing tight races in both states.
