Former West Virginia Senator Manchin has rolled out an Independent Leadership Council to champion independent political candidates. Press accounts indicate the group seeks to push independent governance experiments. The move follows recent chatter about Manchin re-entering the political sphere with a focus on alternate governance models. Several outlets have reported on the initiative. Manchin, a onetime Democrat who went independent in 2023, keeps shaping his political legacy via this new effort.
