Washington — Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, reiterated Sunday that he has "no intentions" of changing his party affiliation at this time and highlighted his record of working with members of both parties based on policy ideas, rather than the political party they are affiliated with.
In an interview with "Face the Nation," Manchin praised two key legislative achievements while Democrats controlled the House and Senate — their sweeping climate, health care and tax reform package and bipartisan infrastructure law — and said he is watching to see how the measures play out in the coming years.
"If people are trying to stop something from doing so much good, because of the politics thinking that somebody else will get credit for it. Let's see how that plays out," Manchin told "Face the Nation." "Now, I'll let you know later, what I decide to do. But right now, I have no intentions of changing anything except working for West Virginians, trying to give them more opportunities, better quality of life, and basically making sure our country is energy secured."
