I was hoping I would never hear from Manchin again. I don't trust anything he has to say.

Jake! I love you but pleeasssee start asking follow up questions. Manchin praised Lankford as “moral” when Lankford was literally the one standing to object to certify the election as they shut down the senate chamber on Jan 6th. I like his border plan but he’s certainly not moral. Manchin also praised McConnell when McConnell just helped to tank the border deal. He said he hates Bidens border policies - what policies! They are just the law. Horrible and needs be fixed, but not Bidens fault. Manchin has such an ego and thinks he’s so important because hes had constant attention since he holds the democrats hostage. I’m so happy he’ls not running again and would never vote for him for anything.

Are you seriously asking Manchin about people tanking bills? Really? Half of the Democratic agenda was tanked because of him and Sinema

[kadarabdullahi]

Manchin just disappointed he wasn't the one to tank it all on his own.

You aren't running again because you know you can't win again.

[wrenneinzbern]

Coming from the guy that tanked build back better single handedly.

James Carville:
"This Republican controlled congress couldn't pass gas." 🤣😂🤣

[brandonwellhausen]

Manchin you’re the last person that should be speaking on Democracy. You were a huge part of the problem

[janemarie]

Jake, you should know better than to call him a moderate Democrat at all. He isn’t even a Democrat.

Some of our Senators need to pick up and read a copy of "Profiles in Courage".

[blueBlackpurple]

I am so tired of people like Manchin acting like both sides are at fault. He should have immediately said that the Republicans are at fault for this current situation. I will be so glad when he is OUT of office.

[Rahim]

This guy is such a clown it is unreal. He helped create many of situations we are in now. So glad he wont run again.

[dblanchard]

I’m so glad he’s not running again. ✌🏽

[chriskelvin]

They drained the swamp but then filled it with sewage. Genius.

[searsfarmcat]

Every Republican who voted NO should be voted out. They're taking orders from a man with 4 indictments and 91 felony criminal charges against him, when they should be working for the People in this country. It's outrageous and a mark of Shame on our Congress. When are we going to pass laws that stop this kind of deliberate negligence committed by elected officials???

Count me as someone who is not interested in having Joe Manchin fix anything.

[dadrewco]

They listened to Trump not their districts . The districts should vote them out because they are currently not being represented .

[victoriajloveland]

He keeps wording it as though he blames Democrats for giving the Republicans everything they asked for??? He talks in circles

[marykbuchanan]

I'm glad he's on the way out! 🫡 🥰 👋

I would NEVER give my vote to Joe Manchin. He's a corporate man, not a people's man.
