Democratic Sen.: People Need to ‘Get Over’ Anger About Trump’s Win and Move On

Senator Joe Manchin, one of the most centrist Democrats in Congress, thinks that it’s time for members of his party to move on from their anger at Donald Trump‘s victory for the sake of the country.

On FBN today, Neil Cavuto asked him about “efforts still afoot to deny Donald Trump the victory.” Manchin said, “People just gotta get over it and move on… Let’s get on with governing this country.”

“We’ve all got to get behind our president,” he said, “whether you voted for him or not, and work with him and try to make him successful.”

Manchin says he wants to be able to work with President-elect Trump and be a “go-between” of sorts between the administration and Congress.

He believes that Democrats should be able to “move good policy, not just be basically blocking something because we’re on different sides.”
