\n At 78, Joe Manchin is stepping back into politics.\n <\/p>\n

\n A year and a half after leaving office fed up with the major parties, the former West Virginia senator is launching a new effort, the Independent Leadership Council, to recruit and support independent candidates across the country.\n <\/p>

\n \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to start another party,\u201d Manchin told CNN in an interview with his daughter, who\u2019s also leading the council. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to get a person who can be committed to \u2013 and totally committed to \u2013 being an independent with an independent voice. They can vote with Democrats and Republicans when they\u2019re right and speak out against them when they\u2019re wrong.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Manchin kicked off the effort Thursday by convening candidates in West Virginia. Attendees include California Rep. Kevin Kiley, a former Republican running for reelection as an independent; Seth Bodnar, an independent candidate for Senate in Montana; and Michael Bridgford, an independent candidate for the House in Iowa. The group is also eying races in Alaska and Washington.\n <\/p>\n

\n The initiative comes at a time of deepening disillusionment with both major parties, and as a record high 45% of American adults identify as political independents, according to a Gallup poll released earlier this year.\n <\/p>\n

\nWhat does it mean to be an independent?<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n Advocates for independent candidates believe they have more momentum than in recent memory. In several states, independent candidates for Congress are attracting significant funding and the attention of their opponents from major parties. And with both chambers so closely divided, the Manchins believe an independent lawmaker can wield tremendous influence in the next Congress.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt doesn\u2019t take too many to say, \u2018C\u2019mon, people, get your act together,\u2019\u201d Manchin said. \u201cThey can bring them to their knees and make people understand, \u2018This is crazy.\u2019\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The Manchins said the summit will serve as an opening dialogue with the candidates, but if they decide to support them, they could campaign for them in person, raise money for them and help organize on the ground in their districts. If they can help even one candidate get elected in November, the father-daughter duo think they can have an impact on the next presidential election.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cOur hope is that this is kind of our pilot, experiment, trying to prove it can be done,\u201d Heather Manchin, a former pharmaceutical executive, said, \u201cand then I think Katie bar the door if it can be done.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Manchin\u2019s disillusionment\n<\/h2>\n

\n The effort may be Joe Manchin\u2019s biggest political project since he retired from the Senate in January 2025. Fed up with the extremes in both major parties, he spent his final months in office as an independent after serving as a Democrat for decades.\n <\/p>\n

\n Since leaving the Senate, Manchin has published a book, promoted his daughter\u2019s centrist political nonprofit, Americans Together, and continued to make appearances in Washington. Last month, he joined a panel discussion on the national debt at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, where the moderator was one of his former colleagues, Republican Rob Portman of Ohio.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cManchin is sometimes a Democrat, sometimes an independent, sometimes a Republican,\u201d Portman said at one point. \u201cI just don\u2019t know quite where he is today.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI don\u2019t either,\u201d Manchin quipped.\n <\/p>\n

\n Manchin, a frequent critic of the progressive left, is concerned about the rise of democratic socialists who\u2019ve been winning Democratic primaries across the country, suggesting it\u2019s a product of a party \u201cwithout a national figure.\u201d But he said Republicans are still too beholden to their extremes as well and argued open primaries would address the broader issue.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWhen they have closed primaries, what they were able to do is hijack the system,\u201d Manchin said, bringing up the recent New York primary where candidates backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, did well. \u201cThey\u2019ve been able to outperform in a closed system.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Surveying the current Senate, Manchin lamented what he described as a lack of deal-makers in his mold. He said he was unsure which senators there now are telling their colleagues: \u201cC\u2019mon, guys, let\u2019s go talk. Sit this down. Let\u2019s work this out.\u201d\n <\/p>

\n \u201cThat bothers me,\u201d Manchin said.\n <\/p>\n

\n One of the more independent-minded Senate Democrats these days is Sen. John Fetterman, whose frustrations with his party have raised the possibility he could leave it. Asked if Fetterman should become an independent, Manchin said the Pennsylvania senator \u201cneeds to do what John\u2019s comfortable doing.\u201d But he suggested Fetterman, a onetime critic of Manchin, was from a different political mold.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe\u2019s for all the hardcore Democrat issues that I wasn\u2019t for,\u201d Manchin said.\n <\/p>\n

\n While Manchin weighed a presidential run in 2024 with the centrist group No Labels \u2014 and says he misses his many \u201cfriends\u201d in the Senate \u2014 he no longer seems interested in running for office.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI don\u2019t see me getting back into the fray, I really don\u2019t,\u201d he said. \u201cI think I\u2019ve tried it for 42, 43, 44, years and been fairly successful at working with people on both sides and bringing people together. Now I\u2019m trying to help people around the country that want that same outcome.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n An independent moment\n<\/h2>\n

\n Instead, Manchin is deepening his work for independent politicians during a moment when they have a new champion in Congress and viable candidates across the midterm map.\n <\/p>\n

\n In California, Kiley is seeking reelection as an independent for an open seat in a Democratic-leaning district after a wave of mid-decade redistricting. Kiley, who continues to caucus with Republicans, faces Democrat Richard Pan in November\u2019s general election.\n <\/p>\n

\n In an interview, Kiley said he wants to be part of building more infrastructure for independents like himself and is \u201cvery happy\u201d to be working with Manchin.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe\u2019s someone who demonstrated during his time in office that he was willing to go against both sides when necessary to serve his constituents,\u201d Kiley said. \u201c[There are] plenty of policy issues where we came out in different ways, but that\u2019s OK. We need more people like that who are independent-minded.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Despite the optimism around independent candidates in the midterms, they continue to face significant structural challenges, such as gaining ballot access and fundraising without a built-in network, as well as hurdles unique to their own races. In Montana, Bodnar is locked in a standoff with Democratic nominee Alani Bankhead who has resisted pressure to drop out and give the former University of Montana president a more direct matchup against GOP nominee Kurt Alme.\n <\/p>\n

\n That happened in Nebraska, where Democratic Senate nominee Cindy Burbank ended her campaign to give Dan Osborn, who is running again as an independent after a strong 2024 showing, a clearer field against GOP Sen. Pete Ricketts. And in Alaska\u2019s only congressional district, independent Bill Hill\u2019s fortunes recently rose after his most serious Democratic opponent, pastor Matt Schultz, dropped out and endorsed Hill.\n <\/p>\n

\n Hill, a commercial fisherman and former superintendent of his local school district, is part of a crowded field running in an all-party primary on August 18 for the seat currently held by Republican Rep. Nick Begich\n <\/p>\n

\n During a recent interview in Anchorage, shortly after returning from a week on his boat fishing salmon in Bristol Bay, he outlined a varied political history. He said he has voted for Republicans Sen. Lisa Murkowski and the late former Sen. Ted Stevens. Hill said he supports abortion rights \u2014 a largely Democratic position \u2014 but is also \u201cpro-Second Amendment because firearms are an important tool for my subsistence lifestyle.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cLike most Alaskans, I don\u2019t fit into a neat little political box,\u201d he said, noting that nearly two-thirds of Alaska voters are not registered with either major party. \u201cI\u2019ve been a lifelong independent, and I wouldn\u2019t run otherwise.\u201d\n <\/p>
