Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee encouraged self-proclaimed centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) to switch parties and not affiliate himself with Democrats that do not share his legislative values.

Lee made the comments on Fox News on Sunday, saying that Manchin should switch parties and leave the Democrats, whose policies are causing inflation and a rise in violence in cities across the nation.
