Joe Manchin's work on opioid abuse touted in new ad from Democratic super PAC

Sen. Joe Manchin's efforts to address opioid addiction are the main focus of a new ad from Senate Majority PAC, a Democratic super PAC that is getting more involved in the West Virginia Senate race following Tuesday's primary election.

The new ad, which is part of a $450,000 buy, marks the super PAC's latest involvement in what is expected to be one of the most competitive Senate races in the country. National Republicans feel they dodged a bullet when voters rejected ex-con coal baron Don Blankenship's race-baiting, conspiracy-theory laden campaign and nominated the state's attorney general Patrick Morrisey to face Manchin in November.

Trump won West Virginia by 42 percentage points in 2016.

The ad, which will begin running Saturday, is a positive spot on Manchin's efforts to pass Jessie's Law, a provision focused on combating the opioid epidemic that was included in the $1.3 trillion spending bill that President Donald Trump signed earlier this year. The law requires hospitals to display a patient's history of addiction.

Manchin does not equal Morrisey. The difference is huge. This is going to be a close race and one that we need to hold.
