Are we supposed to care what JOE MANCHIN SAYS?! He’s not even a Democrat anymore, and when he was, he wasn’t!!

[zzyzx]

Frankly, Manchin has nothing to say that I care to hear!

[DC-xcby]

Joe Manchin should have dropped out of politics years He is irrelevant anyway you look at him.

[LCarrW]

He left the party why does his opinion even matter he showed the dems who he was before he switched parties

[KathySoCal]

Why would you even give Manchin airtime??

[clownkirkpatrick]

Respectfully, other than Kyrsten Sinema, there is nobody who's opinion I care less about on this issue than Joe Manchin

[aldermand]

Who gives af what he has to say. He's always been a Republican operative ..."🙄"

[riosmark]

Joe Manchin is what a joke and shame on Tapper

[lesleyghostdragon]

I find Manchin's opinions to be illogical, duplicitous, and disingenuous.

Translation: billionaire liberal elites are cancelling your primary vote 😂

[rodrigo]

The SS director should resign immediately

Manchin is only about Manchin - but people like him are all we see on media, really tired of the bullcrap.

[rhenderson]

Manchin, for years a devoted Republican, now wishes to weigh in on the DemocrAtic nominee for President?

[captbkj]

Said the man who was gonna launch a third-party run. I'm not sure he realizes that he no longer matter. He was a WV democrat, now he's just some guy on TV.

[kmde]

Manchin is a Republican, we all know that! Who is paying him is what I want to know! 💙💙💙

[jand]

My question is why dems let us get all the way to 2024 to decide we need a new candidate thar should've been considered years ago

Whatever happens in November it's the dems fault where at this place today just sad Joe has served us with honor and now we're pushing him out as president never been done before in history 💯

[mandyviv]

If DINO Manchin wants him to drop out, then I want him to stay. Manchin is rotten to the core.

[jeannewalker]

How about calling for Trump to drop out? That makes more sense

[brentoconnor]

OK
It's not cool now
Joe, you should resign with Joe, no single dem had caused more damage to our party then you. Absolutely disgusting move, no balls.

[russellbuchanan]

This guy? The secret republican? He’s awful. So us CNN.
