Joe Manchin on Gov’t Shutdown, Trump and “Deafening” Silence of GOP

Season 2025 Episode 8001 | 18m 19s

Former U.S. Senator Joe Manchin's new book, "Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense," delves into his frustration with the lack of compromise between parties. The division drove Manchin to change his party affiliation from Democrat to Independent. The author joins Walter Isaacson to discuss these issues and whether he might be considering a third-party run for president in 2028.
