Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia endorsed Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska for reelection during a rare bipartisan interview Sunday on CNN's 'State of the Union.'
"Thank you," Murkowski responded.
"She knows I feel that way, too, very strongly," Manchin told CNN’s Jake Tapper."It's hypocritical to basically work with a person day in and day out, and then when they’re in cycle you’re supposed to be against them just because they have an R or D by their name.
Manchin, one of the few moderates in his party, made a similar move in 2020 when he endorsed and offered to campaign for Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. Manchin said in April of last year that he would support Murkowski’s re-election. She officially announced her candidacy in November.
