Joe Manchin: Democrats Set to Decide Biden’s Fate This Sunday
Gateway Pundit ^ | JULY 12, 2024 | Staff

Posted on 07/12/2024 7:43:03 AM PDT by Red Badger

Former Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) revealed that the Democrat Party is expected to reach a consensus on Joe Biden’s viability as their nominee for the White House by this Sunday.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Sen. Manchin suggested that clarity about Biden’s intentions in the upcoming election might soon emerge.

When asked by NBC’s Ryan Nobles about Biden’s capability to continue his campaign and serve another term, Manchin responded evasively, urging the public to “wait until this weekend” for a more definite perspective.

Ryan Nobles: Are you personally confident that he has what it takes to not only continue this election but also to serve for another four years?

Joe Manchin: I think that if you just wait until this weekend there’ll be more comes out. I believe that we’ll be able to have a better, clearer view of what’s happening. His health and well-being, I think, should be everyone’s first and foremost concern—his, his family’s, and all of us. He’s fine. Doctors are saying he’s fine, so I’m going to take that for his word and go from there. So I’m just going to wait. I really am.

In an interview with Newsmax, Senator Joe Manchin suggested that a decision about Joe Biden’s continuation as the Democrat candidate could emerge by this Sunday, following intense internal party discussions about Biden’s viability.

Newsmax reported:

Manchin’s prediction came in response to questions from Kilmeny Duchardt, Newsmax congressional correspondent, as he headed to a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee meeting where Biden’s viability was to be discussed.

“Let me make it very clear: My main concern is the health and wellbeing of the president, OK,” Manchin said. “And I think he’ll make the right decision. And that’s the only decision. The right decision is what’s right for him. He’s going to make that decision. It’s right for the country, then we’ll make a decision from there.”

Manchin noted that after the current NATO meeting ends, “I think everyone will be talking over Friday, Saturday, and by Sunday, you should have some idea of what’s going on.”

Pressure from members of his own party has increased exponentially on Biden in the days since his poor showing against former President Donald Trump in their June 27 debate.

I don't think they will concede anything. Harris would perform as well or better than Biden head-to-head.

Perhaps better, she will invigorate a morose campaign.

“Manchin is not in the loop on anything and has no idea what is going on”.

I’d bet he knows more than you. Or me.

No, Senator, the well being of the country comes first, not the president’s. That said, I think this is bs. With the RNC starting Monday it’s going to move out of the spotlight. Joe has been very clear and I don’t think anything is goi g to happen on Sunday

Last I checked, Joe Biden was President of the United States.

Jill isn’t going anywhere except Paris.

Pull the trigger on the 25th ammendment or STFU Manchin.

Reminds me of that line from Anchorman, “Even the guy who can’t think said something!”

Manchin is not in the loop on anything and has no idea what is going on. His term is up after this year and will be replaced by a Republican. He is of no use to anyone in the Democrat Party right now.

+++++++++++

Correct. There was a dead opossum on the road in front of my house yesterday that was of more consequence than Joe Manchin. There is road resurfacing happening on my street so the opossum served as a lubricant when the asphalt grinder red misted the remains of the flattened critter as it chewed up the asphalt. Joe Manchin is of less importance than the now vaporized opossum.

She can’t win, and only the most insane Dems believe she could. She’s a terrible campaigner and candidate and has zero shot of winning as does any other democrat who would be stuck in there for Biden.

Biden has 2 major problems. 1) He’s lost the middle, and 2) he doesn’t motivate or exited the base. Democrats can replace him, but no one they have that would be willing to do it can do a damn thing about the first one… especially running with Biden’s crap all over their heels. Democrats know this, at least the honest ones.

Without a motivated base, the Dems will get crushed down ballot, and they know it as well (at least the smart ones). They can lose the middle
And still do okay down ballot if they have a motivated base… because unlike republicans who tend to win districts with 55-45 margins… Dem districts largely have much bigger margins 60-40, 70-30, 80-20 etc. so losing the middle by itself doesn’t massacre them down ballot, but a disengaged and unmotivated base? That means a downballot disaster.

The Dems can name someone who can excite their base more than Biden, but no one that can do that and win the middle in this situation, for many many reasons.

So, if they replace Biden they are tacitly admitting the white house is lost to them and they know it and they are battling to prevent a down ballot disaster for them

The slimy rats have choreographed the “biden has suddenly gone senile” lede in order to convince the sheep that all of the rats were deceived by an evil woman and their next puppet won’t be a puppet.

The leftists made a mistake with releasing their push polls that were designed to show that Biden had won the debate. Now the Weekend at Bernie’s Regime is using those same push polls to justify their defiance against the DP leadership. It’s delicious. The subsequent, more accurate polls will be brutal.

The window of not being lock step in line is about to close. And the attack on President Trump will begin anew.

If only there was a way to split the Democrat party with a method similar to Operation Chaos.

And as long as there’s a reporter to put a microphone in front of him he will continue to think that!

What I can’t believe is that there is a reporter he thinks he’s worth talking to!

Good point. Just like Wil E Coyote, the RATs are once again hoisted on their own petard.

Doesn’t matter what THEY decide. If Joe don’t wanna go, he’s not leaving.

Manchin: “Doctors are saying he’s fine”

Remember—trust the science.

Ballot stuffing usually does not help Democrats down ballot—and if you think about it is obvious why this is the case.

In some cases Congressional districts are gerrymandered all over the place so it is very difficult to get the correct Congressional candidates on ballots shipped from a central location.

This is even more obvious on state legislature races.

That is why congressional Democrats are freaking out—even if the Democrats can cheat their way to the White House it cannot save them down ballot.

Yup——downticket Dems’ problems are putting Biden in jeopardy.
