stands for why does he insist on calling himself a Dem. He seems to really love the attention and the spotlight. Really I can’t understand why West Va supports Trump. He promised to bring back factory jobs and did nothing. Biden needs to call him in and say. “Joe we are moving on”. “It can either be with or without you” “If you can’t give me at least some support we’re ditching the filibuster.”
