Manchin vs. The People: Uncovering The Truth Behind The Saudi Arms Vote | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a Senate vote on a resolution—co-sponsored by Rand Paul—to block arms sales to Saudi Arabia amid their devastating war and blockade in Yemen. Graham discusses how conservative Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia joined Republicans to vote down the measure, saving the lucrative weapons deal, and highlights Manchin's progressive primary challenger, environmental activist Paula Jean Swearengin, who is fighting to oust corporate war Democrats.
