Bucking his party has paid off for Senator Joe Manchin who raised $1.6 million in the fourth quarter and a total of $4.8 million in 2021, his highest total ever in a non-election year.

The West Virginia Democrat’s haul over the last three months of the year includes hundreds of thousands of dollars from financial industry and real estate donors, according to Manchin’s latest filing with the Federal Election Commission.
