Former West Virginia Senator Manchin has started an Independent Leadership Council to back independent political candidates. Press accounts indicate the group aims to promote independent governance experiments. The move follows recent chatter about Manchin re-entering the political sphere around alternate governance models. Several outlets have reported on the initiative. Manchin, a onetime Democrat who went independent in 2023, is still building his political legacy by way of this new effort.
