Joe Manchin 赴缅因力挺 Susan Collins 连任：称其为美国最伟大的参议员，抨击 Chuck Schumer 拆台
缅因州：前西弗吉尼亚州联邦参议员 Joe Manchin 于 10 月 21 日现身缅因州 Lewiston 市，与竞选连任的共和党联邦参议员 Susan Collins 一同出席竞选活动，随后两人前往 Norway 市一间 New Balance 工厂站台。Manchin 公开抨击参议院少数党领袖 Chuck Schumer 暗中运作反对自己的挚友 Collins，称他疯了，并表示自己早在 2020 年就这样对 Schumer 说过。Manchin 对记者表示，这个国家需要 Collins 留在华盛顿，缅因州极其需要她留在华盛顿；你们应该为她感到无比骄傲，我以称她为朋友为荣；让我们出去投票，重新选出美利坚合众国最伟大的参议员 Susan Collins。他同时表示，特朗普拥有这个经济，共和党人必须为经济现状在选票箱前负责，并强调两党合作的必要性。两人曾在 2021 年基础设施法案、2022 年选举计票法改革等跨党派立法中合作。Collins 此次面临民主党候选人、前缅因州参议院议长 Troy Jackson 的挑战，这场选战被视为可能决定参议院控制权的关键之战。Manchin 于 2024 年退出民主党、改登记为独立人士，2025 年卸任参议员。
Joe Manchin Campaigns in Maine for Susan Collins's Reelection: Calls Her the Greatest Senator in America, Rips Chuck Schumer
In Maine, former West Virginia U.S. Senator Joe Manchin appeared in Lewiston on October 21 to campaign alongside Republican U.S. Senator Susan Collins, who is seeking reelection, and the two later stumped together at a New Balance plant in Norway. Manchin publicly ripped Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for working against his dear friend Collins, calling him crazy and saying he had told Schumer the same in 2020. Manchin told reporters that the country needs Collins in Washington and Maine needs her extremely in Washington; that voters should be extremely proud of her and that he is proud to call her his friend; and urged them to get out and reelect the greatest senator in the United States of America, Susan Collins. He also said Trump owns this economy and Republicans will have to answer for the state of the economy at the ballot box, and stressed the need for bipartisanship. The two lawmakers previously worked together on bipartisan legislation including the 2021 infrastructure law and the 2022 Electoral Count Act overhaul. Collins faces Democrat Troy Jackson, a former Maine Senate president, in a race viewed as pivotal to determining which party controls the Senate. Manchin left the Democratic Party in 2024 to become an independent and retired from the Senate in 2025.
