WV's senators on national politics
Senator Capito
On Wednesday, Senator Capito was asked by CNN if she still supported Donald Trump for president. CNN reports:
West Virginia GOP Sen. Shelley Moore Capito told reporters she "strongly disagrees" with Trump's comments, but said she still backed him as the GOP nominee.
I wonder what Trump would have to say or do to make Capito question her support.
Senator Manchin
And Politico ran an article yesterday suggesting that Elizabeth Warren was getting increasing support as the choice for Clinton's running mate.
A growing number of Senate Democrats are openly backing Elizabeth Warren to join Hillary Clinton’s ticket, seeing her as a unity pick for Democrats after a bruising presidential primary between the party’s presumptive nominee and Bernie Sanders.
Not all senators, however:
Still, Warren for VP is not a unanimous view in the Senate Democratic caucus. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said that while Warren is a "good friend," a more centrist choice would help rally moderates.
"[Virginia Sen.] Tim Kaine would be my choice. Tim Kaine would be a better fit for where we are today to bring moderates and independents on board," Manchin said.
