Manchin Touts Background Checks While Trump Touts Mental Health
While West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin says he's having "good dialogue" with the White House on background checks, President Trump was more eager to talk about mental health with reporters over the weekend. Beto O'Rourke, hoping to reset his struggling presidential campaign, hit up a gun show in Arkansas to tout his sweeping gun control platform. And former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper's out of the presidential race, but as Laura Carno, visiting fellow for the Independent Women's Forum explains, if he decides to run for U.S. Senate instead, his past support for expanding the state's gun control laws could cause him big political problems.
