Former President Donald Trump on Aug. 5 said he would go to West Virginia to campaign against Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) if the Democrats’ $740 billion tax hike and climate change deal, the “Inflation Reduction Act,” is passed.

The remark was made at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Texas when the Senate was debating on the landmark bill before finally passing it on Aug. 7.
