MSNBC host pressures Joe Manchin to endorse Biden, but he warns that the president has gone too far left
Joe Manchin says he could still endorse Biden but warns president has gone too far left. Sen. Manchin indicated that he has not abandoned hope of endorsing Biden in November. Manchin: "Where he is now is too far to the left. I'm not going to endorse Biden"
MSNBC host Katy Tur pressed Sen. Joe Manchin on why he's waiting to endorse President Biden for re-election. Tur: ‘You going to sit on the sidelines?’ Manchin, D-W.V., is a Democrat in West Virginia.
Manchin's vow would mean that tight margins get even tighter. “Losing even a single other Democratic senator would sink the judicial nominations” said political science professor Ian Ostrander. ‘Manchin’s vow’ would mean ‘tighter margins” for Democrats.
John Kennedy said he thinks federal appellate court nominee Adeel Mangi's confirmation are "dead" after Sen. Manchin backed out of supporting the Biden nominee. Biden's nominee is expected to be confirmed to the appellate court on a federal appeals court. Kennedy: Manchin's decision to back Biden's judicial nominee is "dead as Jimmy Hoffa"
Joe Manchin says he won't vote for Biden's judicial nominees if there isn't Republican support. Manchin: "I'm going to vote for my own little filibuster" Manchin will vote against Biden's nominees if they aren't backed by Republicans. Biden has been criticized for his lack of support in the past.
