Sen. Joe Manchin , I-W.Va., speaking from the 80th anniversary commemoration of the D-Day invasion in Normandy , France, lauded President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday for their speeches and the lack of politics involved, telling Newsmax's John Huddy that it's important to be "ever vigilant."
"When I say that I've always voted independently, I've never been driven by a party," Manchin said. "I don't look at politics through partisan lenses. I just don't, never have, but I wanted to make sure that I ended my career exactly how I've always felt in my heart, and how I voted, and my commitment to the people I represent, to my state of West Virginia and my country.
Meanwhile, Manchin said he found that the most touching part of the ceremony was when Macron gave his country's highest honor, the Napoleon Bonapart Award, and how he embraced each of the U.S. veterans.
