Joe Manchin Tries to Run for Re-Election as Pro-Gun Candidate Rejected by NRA
With November 2018 getting closer Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is trying to run for re-election as the pro-gun candidate rejected by the NRA.
Machin’s Senate career began with a 2010 special election victory in which he ran as pro-gun and enjoyed NRA support. However, once in office Manchin expressed many of the same gun control views as Michael Bloomberg and spearheaded Barack Obama’s gun control push following the attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School. PBS reported that the Obama White House trusted Manchin to beat the NRA on gun control.
To be clear, Manchin’s gun control support has paid dividend among leftists. For example, Bloomberg held a fundraiser for Manchin on July 22, 2013, and Breitbart News reported that Manchin attended the fundraiser. Yet while leftists were giving Mancin money the NRA was severing its relationship with him.
Moreover, the NRA ran an ad in West Virginia highlighting Manchin’s embrace of gun control:
