On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s” Katy Tur Reports”, Sen. Joe Manchin ( D- WV ) stated that President Joe Biden’s” staff has taken him too far left. I do n’t believe that’s where he needs to be. I do n’t believe that’s where he is internally, never has been, and I’d love to see him come back to that”.
Manchin said that he ca n’t endorse 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, adding,” On the other hand, they’ve asked me about my friend Joe Biden, who I’ve known for a long time. And I want Joe Biden to be the Joe Biden I’ve known always, fine. Constantly working a package, always wanting to provide people up, which is how he campaigned in 2020. His workers, in my opinion, has pushed him too much left. I do n’t believe that’s where he needs to be. I do n’t believe that’s where he is internally, never has been, and I’d love to see him come back to that. But, I am still working hard, trying to see if I may help a little bit it”.
Afterwards in the meeting, Manchin stated that he’s “never sat on the outside. But, we’ll have to just wait and see how it goes”.
