Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., appeared in a Republican primary ad defending Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., from accusations that he supported President Biden's Build Back Better agenda.
Rep. David McKinley gestures during his town hall meeting at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, on April 25, 2022.
While Mooney did not name McKinley in his video, he argued that Republicans who voted for the infrastructure package"have now paved the way for Democrats to pass President Biden's socialist Build Back Better plan."McKinley did not vote for the Build Back Better bill, however, which Manchin effectively blocked late last year.
Former President Trump has backed Mooney in the race, as have Reps. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., and Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, along with the Club for Growth, FreedomWorks, and the American Conservative Union.Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo endorsed McKinley, however, along with Manchin, Republican West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, Andrew Yang, and the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce.Sen. Shelley Moore Capito during a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee markup on May 26, 2021.
