Coal worker who challenged Clinton sets sights on Manchin
WASHINGTON ? Exactly one year ago, out-of-work West Virginia coal industry worker Bo Copley delivered one of the 2016 presidential race?s most memorable moments when he challenged Hillary Clinton. Now Copley tells Yahoo News he has set his sights on unseating his state?s Democratic senator, Joe Manchin.
?With everything that has happened over the past year, with all of the attention we have received, with all of the people saying, ?We really appreciate you representing us,? we thought maybe people want someone to represent them who understands what they?re going through,? Copley said in a Tuesday telephone interview. ?It?s what God?s telling me to do.?
Copley, 40, said he is filing some of the preliminary paperwork needed to get into the 2018 race. If he wins the Republican primary, he?d come up against Manchin, who used to govern West Virginia, where President Trump thumped Clinton by a 42-point margin. Given the state?s political tilt, Manchin is a key target for Senate Republicans looking to protect or expand their majority.
Asked for his assessment of Trump?s tumultuous young presidency, Copley replied: ?So far, it?s kind of what I expected. There are some hits and there are some misses.? He praised Trump for executive actions rolling back environmental restrictions blamed for hurting the coal industry, but added that the president?s ?lack of government experience? was hurting him elsewhere.
The Tuesday announcement came one year to the day after Copley, who lost his coal-company job in September 2015, became a defining figure in the 2016 campaign after confronting Clinton in Williamson, W. Va. Two months earlier, during a CNN town hall in March 2016, Clinton had said, ?We?re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.?
