WASHINGTON — A conservative group focused on combating President Joe Biden's economic agenda is launching an almost $800,000 ad campaign pushing Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., to oppose the $1.7 trillion social safety net and climate legislation.
The Coalition to Protect American Workers, a group led by Marc Short, who served as chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence, is running the ads targeting Manchin in West Virginia and which will begin airing this week. The ad strikes a different tone than television ads normally do when funded from across the political aisle. But the unusual approach may be to stoke disappointment if Manchin ultimately votes for the bill.
Manchin is one of the key Democratic holdouts in the Senate. He has repeatedly voiced concern that the social safety net bill is too generous and provisions, such as paid family and medical leave, should be left out of the bill. Over the last several months, his objections have led to Democratic leaders altering or totally forgoing some of the provisions in the $1.7 trillion bill.
