Former U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin says he will campaign with Sen. Susan Collins in Maine ahead of the state’s midterm elections. Multiple outlets report that Manchin tells Collins he is planning to join her campaign as she faces a difficult re-election effort.
The coverage also describes Manchin’s aim in doing so: he wants Maine voters to better understand how Collins’ approach to legislating affects the state. While the sources agree on the campaign appearance and timing, they vary slightly in emphasis—some focus on Manchin’s pledge to come back to the campaign, while others highlight the message Manchin is bringing about Collins’ legislative style.
