Manchin endorses Hogan in Maryland Senate race: He's 'the right person'

Source: The Hill

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) endorsed former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) and his campaign for the U.S. Senate seat in Maryland, saying he is “just the right person” for the job.

Manchin, a former moderate Democrat who filed as an independent this year, showed enthusiasm for Hogan’s campaign and its embrace of moderate politics this election cycle.

“Forget about being a Democrat or Republican,” Manchin said, according to DC News Now. “Larry Hogan is just the right person with the right attitude for the job.”

Speaking from Hagerstown, Md., Manchin said Hogan won’t be controlled by “any party or any type of ideology.”

You blew it.

You could have stayed in the party and ridden the Harris/Walz wave, but you took the chickenshit way out.
Now, you not only have zero credibility, you have zero influence.

Time to ride off into the horizon on your sooty yacht.

According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ polling average, Alsobrooks has a 4.3 percent lead over Hogan.

Contribute here to support Democrat Angela Alsobrooks; and spank both Manchin and Hogan:

don't care how moderate a Republican is... that R means a greater chance the R's control the Senate... (we saw it in 2010 with John Boehner when people became a bit disillusioned with Obama)

Manchin is an enemy of the Democratic Party

...as someone who is seemingly relocating to Maryland (at least in the winter ) we NEED Alsobrooks in the Senate!!!!

Blue for the win

I wonder who donates to his campaign.
I wonder how much.
Maybe enough for a new mansion.
We all need one!

This DINO is a real piece of rat dung. He and Sinema subverted so many initiatives Pres. Biden attempted to get passed into law and collaborated with the MAGA creeps. He used the Democratic Party for personal gain. Glad he is outta here in January even if his seat goes to the GQP because then there are no doubts or one less MAGA mole in the Senate.
