Corporate donations to Sen. Joe Manchin's PAC surged as he fought President Biden's agenda

Sen. Joe Manchin’s political action committee experienced a surge in corporate contributions this fall, ahead of his decision to oppose – and apparently kill – President Joe Biden’s $1.75 trillion social safety net and climate change bill.

Manchin’s leadership PAC, Country Roads, received 17 contributions from corporations in October and 19 in November, according to a CNBC analysis of Federal Election Commission filings. None of the four months prior to October saw saw as many corporate contributions.

The White House unveiled its framework for the bill, dubbed the Build Back Better Act, in October. It included about $550 billion to battling climate change by investing in green technologies. Manchin, a conservative Democrat who has profited from his links to the coal industry, opposed key climate provisions in the legislation.

In November, the Country Roads PAC received corporate contributions ranging from $2,500 to $5,000. Donors included financial giants such as American Express and Goldman Sachs, aerospace and defense leader Lockheed Martin, health insurance companies UnitedHealth Group and Blue Cross Blue Shield, and natural gas company CNX Resources. The PAC raised over $110,000 in November.

It's sad to watch Republican Un-Democrats like Joe Manchin sink our country.
