Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia is urging President Joe Biden to drop his reelection bid.
Manchin joins a growing number of lawmakers trying to pressure the Democratic president to reconsider his plans to continue campaigning against Trump.
Nearly three dozen congressional Democrats have called on Biden to step aside following a debate performance earlier this month that raised open questions about Biden’s ability to mount a convincing campaign.
Manchin, who became an independent in May after years as a Democrat, is not seeking reelection to the Senate. His remarks came Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Shush!
Manchin said he believes that if Biden exits the race now, it would allow him to address a series of key issues and his departure would give him the chance to “show the rest of the world the orderly transfer of power from the superpower of the world.”
“He will go down with a legacy unlike many people, as one of the finest and truly a [patriotic] American,” Manchin said. “So, with that, I come with a heavy heart to think the time has come for him to pass the torch to a new generation.”

Anyone who thinks Biden is a great and patriotic American is deeply insane—a danger to themselves and others around them.
Joe Manchin isn’t even a democrat anymore (he switched to Independent a couple months ago). If Biden doesn’t care what Pelosi or Obama say, why does Manchin think the views of a non-democrat are going to make any difference?
Manchin again steps in with an opinion that will not effect him because he’s not running and declared himself an independent (squishy Democrat in other words).
Doesn’t cost him anything.
Biden campaigned in 2020 by hiding in his basement.
He couldn’t draw flies to his rallies.
The Democrats didn’t complain then.
Drip drip drip...one after another, day after day
A headline a day to make Old senile Joe go away!
Delicious
Sorry, there Manchin-on-a-Hill. HotAir reported just Friday that the DNC is “proceeding” with plans for an early nomination of the Rutabaga.
The Hoax News Coup has failed.
“He will go down with a legacy unlike many people, as one of the finest...”
And the stick? But Joe, if you insist on running and you take down the party, you will be blamed, you’ll become the democrat Hoover, reviled and vilified for at least a half century.
Light that torch Joe.
Did Trump consider picking this hillbilly?
Manchin is trying to ingratiate himself with Rat PooBahs who are trying to oust Biden. He thinks the vacuum may open up a play for himself - at least a VP play. A Manchin delusion ? Yes!
Joe Manchin or Joe Biden?
