Corporate donations to Sen. Joe Manchin’s PAC surged as he fought President Biden’s agenda
West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin’s political action committee saw 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 last month, according to a CNBC analysis of Federal Election Commission filings. None of the four months prior to October saw as many corporate contributions.
