For years, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia was a Democrat with
a habit of voting against the party line. Not surprisingly, that
was something many Democrats despised and Republicans relished. His
resistance cost Democrats big legislative wins, including President
Biden’s $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act in 2021. After being
called a DINO (Democrat in Name Only) for years, Manchin flirted
with a presidential run on the No Labels ticket and officially
dropped the “D” to become an independent in 2024, shortly before
leaving office. Kara talks to Manchin about his new memoir, Dead
Center: In Defense of Common Sense, his reasoning for occasionally
siding with the other side of the aisle, his defense of the
filibuster, and why he thinks independents might have a better
chance in 2028. Questions? Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com or
