McConnell Says Manchin Should Become a Republican

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters “it would be a great idea” for Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) to become a Republican, the AP reports.

Said McConnell: “As you know, he likes to talk. It would not surprise you to know that I’ve suggested for years it would be a great idea, representing a deep red state like West Virginia, for him to come over to our side.”
