Manchin: The Extremes Are Taking Over

"I came to the realization, truly, that Washington is not going to be repaired inside of Washington. 55 to 60 percent of us live in the center middle, but the extremes are taking over. I am more determined than ever to bring our country together."

MANCHIN STATEMENT ON THE CLOSURE OF CLEVELAND-CLIFFS TIN MILL FACILITY IN WEIRTON

"This announcement is a consequence of the International Trade Commission’s decision to turn a blind eye to nearly 1,000 hard-working employees right here in West Virginia in favor of illegally dumped and subsidized imports. Cleveland-Cliffs’ closure is an absolute injustice not only to American workers, but to the very principle of fair competition, and it will undoubtedly weaken our economic and national security."

I had the honor of meeting with members of the West Virginia Special Olympics Delegation. It is truly inspiring to see the impact the Special Olympics makes on so many lives. I’m proud of West Virginia’s Special Olympic athletes and wish them a safe and fun season!
