Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia on Sunday endorsed the reelection campaign of his Republican colleague Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who is facing a toughchallenger this year supported by former President Donald Trump.
"I'm endorsing my dear friend Lisa Murkowski," Manchin said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Alaska could only be so lucky to have her continue to serve them."
The two moderate senators appeared on the show in a joint interview to promote bipartisanship after the passage of President Joe Biden's infrastructure deal and amid early talks to change the Electoral Count Act. In June, Trump endorsed Kelly Tshibaka in her campaign to unseat Murkowski, giving his backing to an outsider candidate who has echoed his false claims of election fraud. His endorsement came a few months after Murkowski voted to convict him at his impeachment trial for allegedly inciting the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
