- **Event Name**: Conversation with former U.S. Senator Joe Manchin
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 23 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Joe Manchin, a steadfast, outspoken, and often controversial advocate of political centrism during a time of extraordinary polarization, served as U.S. Senator from West Virginia for 15 years (2010- 2025). He also served as West Virginia’s governor from 2005 to 2010.

His new book is Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense (2025), a New York Times bestseller that presents his plan “to tame the anger, bitterness, intolerance, and tribalism that have infected our political system.” 

The book is replete with stories of his complicated relationships with two presidents: Trump and Biden. He writes, “I have watched the Democratic Party leave me and my state, and I have watched the Republican Party lose itself to one man.”
