“For America to lose someone like Susan Collins would be an absolute shame,” the senator from West Virginia said.
By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow April 11 at 6:00 PM Sen. Joe Manchin III, a Democrat who represents a conservative state, offered his support Thursday to Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican from a state that tilts left, in her expected 2020 bid for reelection.
Democrats consider flipping her seat key to winning the Senate majority. But Manchin, of West Virginia, defended his support for Collins. Manchin and Collins share a common bond over their willingness to cross their parties on tough votes. More than any other senators, they often must weigh their party’s priorities against their constituents’ desires.
A sitting Democratic senator endorsing a Republican senator’s campaign is rare, especially in this hyperpartisan climate.
