During his latest visit to West Virginia, a state he won by a resounding 42-point margin, President Trump didn’t pull any punches going after Joe Manchin.
Trump told West Virginians, “Joe Manchin voted no on tax cuts for American families. He just voted no. What are you going to say? He voted no on removing Obama’s job killing regulations…Joe also voted no on repealing and replacing Obamacare…And Joe voted yes on something that not too many people in this room like – mass amnesty.” The president went on to offer his full support for Patrick Morrisey’s campaign, saying, “A vote for Morrisey is a vote for me and for our agenda to Make America Great Again.”
President Trump remains the most popular political figure among West Virginia voters, and his words continue to have incredible influence in the Mountain State. With Election Day quickly approaching, it will be Joe Manchin’s constant opposition to the Trump agenda that will ultimately cost him his job.
