Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.V.), has endorsed former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, R, Md., in his U.S. Senate campaign in Maryland.

“Forget about being a Democrat or Republican,” Manchin, who left the Democratic Party and registered as an independent, said in Hagerstown, Md. on Thursday. “Larry Hogan is just the right person with the right attitude for the job.”

Manchin also said that Hogan would not be controlled by “any party or any type of ideology” as a U.S. senator.

Manchin is not seeking re-election.
