Joe Manchin has told Fox News he won't vote for the president's Build Back Better bill as written because he can't explain it to West Virginia voters.

We've endorsed 4 candidates for U.S. Senate who all day long could explain lower-cost child care and tax cuts for parents, lower-price prescriptions and health care for families, and more high-pay jobs for workers -- and they'd be excited to vote for them.

Even 1 more progressive win in the Senate in 2020 would have lessened Joe Manchin's power and made a huge difference. We can fix this in 2022.

Can you chip in $4 to 4 bold progressive Senate candidates working to flip winnable red Senate seats with progressives who would be eager to pass Build Back Better and give families needed health care and financial relief?

This is one concrete thing we can do about Joe Manchin. Here's why:

With Republican Senator Rob Portman's retirement, Ohio's Senate seat is wide open. Consumer protection attorney, anti-monopoly advocate, community organizer, and long-time PCCC ally Morgan Harper can bring together the coalition Democrats need to win in Ohio: Black voters, women, young voters, and independents.

Wisconsin is ripe for flipping its Republican-held Senate seat, and recent polls show bold progressive Mandela Barnes with a big lead in Wisconsin's Democratic Senate primary. CNN reports that Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson's evolution into a conspiracy promoter has driven Republican voters and even some Republican Party leaders to turn on him.

In Missouri, the retiring Republican senator barely won his last election with 49.2% of the vote. One of the top Republican candidates is the unhinged, right-wing lunatic who got famous threatening Black Lives Matter protestors with a gun. Bold progressive, U.S. Marine veteran, and crusader against corporate monopolies Lucas Kunce is the Democrat who can win in a decidedly winnable Missouri.

In 2019, Kentucky elected a Democratic Governor. That and these two quotes from bold progressive 2022 U.S. Senate candidate Charles Booker give us reason to believe that with support "from the hood to the holler," Kentucky can elect a Democratic senator in 2022:

"Kentucky is not a 'red state.' It’s a disenfranchised state. It’s a place where the number of people who don’t vote outnumber those who do. If we change that, we will send Rand Paul packing."

"I grew up in one of the poorest zip codes in Kentucky. Both of my parents had to drop out of high school to help take care of our family. I’ve had to ration my insulin; and I’ve been homeless. My mom often went without eating so that I could. I’ve lived the struggle other politicians only talk about."

With an expanded majority and an expanded Senate map -- led by bold progressives like these who don't take corporate donations -- no 1 senator will be able to do what Manchin is doing right now.

Please chip in $4 to 4 progressive Senate candidates fighting for a bigger AND MUCH BOLDER, PROGRESSIVE majority in the Senate that works for everyday people -- NOT corporations and lobbyists.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
