.@Sen_JoeManchin doesn't say if he rules out running for president: "I'm going to do everything I can to save my country, and I'll do whatever it takes. I'll help whoever and support whoever that I think could best help this country come back to the common sense, sensible middle" pic.twitter.com/WMkKA1jPmj

It's expected to help 21 million children.https://t.co/38NQNVnw3Y
