Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) acknowledged that former President Donald Trump has a strong chance of beating President Joe Biden in the November election. Manchin, who has criticized both major political parties, expressed his concerns on Fox News’s show “One Nation” about Trump’s message appealing to hard-working individuals who value freedom and democracy. He also cautioned Biden about potentially alienating older generations with his actions in office.
Manchin emphasized the importance of individuals taking initiative and contributing to their country, rather than relying solely on government assistance. He warned against the country becoming too focused on what it can do for individuals, rather than what individuals can do for their country.
Despite being suggested as a potential third-party presidential candidate, Manchin has decided not to run and is not seeking reelection to the Senate in November. This decision reflects his centrist views and his belief in fighting for the betterment of the country.
