Manchin Urges Biden to End Reelection Campaign
Democratic Senator Says It's Time for a "New Generation" of Leadership
Manchin's Announcement Raises Questions About Biden's Political Future
Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia has called on President Joe Biden to end his reelection campaign and pass the torch to a "new generation" of leadership. In a statement released on Sunday, Manchin said that Biden has "done a great deal to help our country" but that it is time for a "change in direction."
"I believe that we need new leadership to address the challenges we face as a nation," Manchin said. "We need someone who can unite us, not divide us."
Manchin's announcement is a major blow to Biden's reelection hopes and raises questions about his political future. The senator is a key swing vote in the Senate and his support is essential for Biden to pass his agenda.
Biden has not yet responded to Manchin's announcement, but he is expected to make a decision about his reelection campaign in the coming weeks.
