“We cannot basically have a divided country, and we cannot withstand that,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union” in an interview with Dana Bash. “There’s a movement going on that people want, to bring the extremes back to the sensible and reasonable, responsible middle.” Manchin would not respond when asked by Bash if he would consider running for president on a ticket of the business-friendly centrist group No Labels, which is seeking to get on the presidential ballot in all 50 states.
” Manchin, who is up for reelection next year, told NBC News on Sunday that any decision about his political future would be made at the end of the year. “My filing date is January 15 in 2024, and I will make my decision maybe a little bit before that, but not until the end of the year, I can assure you,” he said.
fake
What Americans are sick of is the unity of Democrats and Republican politicians in corruption and slavish devotion to monopolistic corporations.
60-70% of the country supports medicare for all, a green new deal, and an assault weapons ban. Is that the middle? Or am I bad at math?
Nope! Manchin will never get a Dem to vote for him.
I agree with him….I am tired of both parties fighting….please govern and do something productive. Revenge is NOT productive.
Manchin is best at lining his pockets.
Coming from a democrat 🤣🤣🤣🤣
RLopez15thWard Can't disagree. We need the Dems to turn into a Blue Dog dominated Democratic Party, and a new 'Conservative Workers Party' to replace the GOP. Basically the pre-MAGA GOP but that supports workers not bosses, unions & workers rights. Then the avg person would have 2 good choices.
I think I speak for all boomers when I say that this sounds nice and gives me a good talking point to repeat in order to sound intelligent, but I worry that he may not like war or start more wars, and as boomers that's what we like the most: war. We want to send the kids to war.
He is among the leading recipients of donations from fossil fuel companies in Congress, and he still has substantial interests in a coal brokerage firm that he co-founded and which is now owned by his son.
He wants a “reasonable and responsible” candidate, which is why the country elected Joe Biden.
I hope he runs. Lol
Manchin is correct
And CNN had nothing to do with the political division? 🤣😂🤣 China News Network
as a lifelong Democrat, I would vote for Manchin over Trump or Kamala Harris at this point. Both parties have gone too far to the extreme
Who cares anymore. They prevented the democrats from accomplishing a lot of the stuff on their agenda. They are lobbyist disguised in democrat clothing.
Phuck Joe Manchin and miss us with they 'centrist' bullshit. Manchin might as well lose as the Republican he is at heart.
Manchin isn't moderate or centrist. He's far right. It is just that the US has so many extremist right politicians that it doesn't know what centrist means. Or liberal or left for that matter.
Calling Joe Manchin a moderate is like calling David Duke a conservative.
Don’t run jethro.
GagOrder
This American is sick of Joe Manchin pretending he speaks for Americans.
Stop hating everyone and learning, Republicans
The truth is that America is sick of people like Joe Manchin.
Joe, you're not a centrist. You're a Republican who pretends to be a Democrat. Neither party would vote for you.
And he's part of the problem
I’m a moderate. Manchin is NO moderate. He’s an ego driven man living in the 90s,backing billionaires.Wanting to address climate change, Roe v Wade being overturned after 50 yrs, voting rights & the state of our democracy is NOT extreme. Trying to overthrow the US government IS.
F K U JOE !
He isn’t wrong. The left is insane. The right is insane. There are 60ish percent of people in this country that just want common sense.
Sen_JoeManchin potus has more bipartisan wins than any potus in modern history yet you consistently attack him instead of writing op-eds to bring your Republican friends to the table.
If Manchin is a centrist then I'm Eleanor of Aquitaine.
If Joe Manchin is a 'moderate' as you claim, that means that you are essentially calling the rest of the Democrats 'extremists'. Manchin is anything but a moderate. He's a radical right-winger, owned by the fossil fuel industry. Stop with the bullshit.
Democrats will attack him for this statement because he isn't letting hatred consume him and he refuses to walk in lockstep with them.
I think a lot of Americans would be interested in having a centrist option in the 2024 presidential election, splitting the difference between extremists on both the Left and the Right. The political division in the United States is getting out of control.
What is centrist? Please cnn define this. What about Joe manchin saying people with kids would use drugs if the government helped them more? What’s the left or right version of that?
Says the guy who votes with his big donors and not for his constituents best interest
No Joe! America is fucking tired of corrupt politicians just like you! Get on your boat that the fossil fuels industry bought you and get lost! A DINO and Trump stooge! TermLimitsAmerica
Oh please
The middle ground doesn't work in US politics. He will get a near zero vote share.
No young politician in US to try for presidency?
Once leftists get on board with the American program, there won't be a divide.
The Democrats love promoting hate racism in division. It’s what they do best. They praised the dysfunctional transgender cold blooded murder that killed six innocent Christians. It’s a well-known fact, taking testosterone, makes you angry and anxious.
He’s not moderate.
I'm sick of politicians (and media companies) not sufficiently recognizing the danger to democracy posed by the right.
Running for president is a money making scheme
The two Parties fought each other, the Chinese Communist Party benefited
Nope. Americans are sick of corrupt-to-the-core politicians like Manchin who refused to do anything to improve the lives of WV people and sabotaged Biden's agenda instead. Even sicker is that CNN labels him as a 'moderate'.
' ' It seems poor Joe went along with Biden and now getting screwed! LOL! Got to love that lying Biden!
Does he defend the American culture or does the culture marxists influence him?
He ain’t no middle….he was up trumps ass while he was in office…
No we don’t
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 JOE MANCHIN is a Republican mole & a lair...😂😂😂😂😂
His declining to say if he’ll run on a centrist ticket is dividing the country more. Get over yourself! Get behind POTUS and let’s win in 2024. Plain and simple.
He is a Republican
It's beyond me that he believes the answer is him.
He's not fucking moderate
He in part created the division.
A two-sidesing coal baron isn’t what Americans are looking for. Give up the snake oil and watch the division lessen.
Competence.. I don't care where is comes from. It's all I ask for.
He needs s not a Democrat!
Sick of him.
He likes to hear himself talk
He's never cared about Americans when he voted against anything that would help the average American, he's here to make money for himself.
Who isn't sick of corrupt centrist Dems?
All the truth, just the truth, nothing but the truth, I swear. 🤚 Some still have memory of that passage, Senator, asking themselves why a couple of wild weaseles went so shallow to risk the crash on obstacles. Moreover detected my way of greeting then was sent to Mr. Gorbaciov.
He's gonna run as a 1% elitist
Manchin is not a centrist democrat but a conservative democrat. Real centrist democrats: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
Biden is messing with the Wrong person!
Joe U better U pick wisely. A Trump reelection means no mo elections...period. No mo Dems/Ukrainians to worry about. They will 'disappear' ALL but the PRO-LE-TARIAT (friends of Trump) will get a ration of borscht daily.
Hard no for me. Sen_JoeManchin has taken far too much money from industry hacks buying influence at the expense of voters, and he has completely fucked over the Dems too many times. Thanks to him & Sinema, We do not have laws to protect women, voter rights, sane gun control.
I've long thought that we need a Romney or Manchin to breath life in a third party that would draw moderates out from both sides. That would let the GOP get back to it's roots and put the walking dead democrat party out to pasture.
Wow. So Manchin wants a dictatorship? At least he is playing footsie with it
Does Sen_JoeManchin think that the political gymnastics that he puts Americans through over the years, makes him a viable candidate? Shame!
It doesn't matter what ticket he runs on, he will never become POTUS.
I'm amazed that if those are his true feelings how can he remain in a direction so intent on destroying everything American. He should dump the coc**oaches and go red.
Who's doing it? Say his name.
GO fr it
Sick of it? Is he kidding? It feels like we're just getting warmed up.
And sick of him!
Does Sen_JoeManchin think that the political gymnastics that he puts Americans through over the years, makes him a viable candidate? I doubt it.
Naw, we're sick of coal sniffin Joe Manchin 💯
That's not the middle. He's a conservative in any other group where people are serious.
Americans are sick of the political division in the country, but Senator Manchin is no centrist. He just likes to be seen as the big kahuna.
Sick of Manchin.
That is literally what we have Sen_JoeManchin
Imagine if the Soviet Union, when it fell, were as divided as the U.S. is now? With the dollar in a slow free fall, it's inevitable that the U.S. fed. government will collapse. Nothing lasts forever. But in what state will the people of said country be in when it happens? ⏳️
Another Democrat that is so sick of his party he'd rather run as a libertarian
Don’t worry Robert Kennedy Jr is going to run for President and win, and win big.
There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat.
Please go away, Sen_JoeManchin.
WHAT centrist political ticket?
Running for political office is a great way to launder money
Given who Sen. Joe Manchin is and how he keeps siding with the specific party of obstructionism, please stop calling the Republicans' trojan horse a 'moderate Democrat'!!!
He’s a Republican. He’d bring zero unity to anything 🙄
Yes we are. There are so many of us who are so sick and tired of the political bullshit going on with the extremists on both sides.
if he's on the ticket then it won't split the dem vote - democrats hate his guts. So let him knock himself out.
Nope.😐
Who’d vote for this muppet?!?
He's not wrong about the divide, only problem is is that while one side (Republicans) are walking away from the middle, the other side (Democrats) are sprinting in the other direction. It'll be hard to unify the country between 'Progressives' and Conservatives.
fuck joe manchin
Considering his positions, West Virginia is about the only place manchin can actually win an election.
Sorry this duo is not going to be my president
voters should be sick of repubs and dems. they both are horrible.
We are sick of him
Just a reminder, Independents aren’t centrists. Political alignments are diagrammed like this: Dem - Ind - Rep But the actual alignment is: Ind - Dem - Ind - Rep - Ind There is no underserved bloc of centrist independents craving JoeManchinWV as their champion.
😂😂😂
Dino.
The majority of American voters *live* for political division. What planet is he living on? People only hate political division when it’s not their party being divisive.
He’s not wrong. But he’s not it.
Actually, I agree with him. The only thing we agree on, other than him keeping his Senate seat as a Democrat in WV.
He might as well crawl back in the coal mine.
He should sail his yacht right into Boston Harbor.
Joe Manchin is a closet Republican
Manchin is nothing but a limp willy.
Americans are sick of you getting rich from potitical donations.
You misspelled 'Republican.'
Moderate?
I want a government beholding the constitution
We're sick of you Joe!
Someone who spends so much time with the Republican Party must realize how far right they’ve gone. Representing the middle will accomplish nothing. The right is not interested in the middle- only establishing religious right ideology and imposing it on everyone.
Sick of him
We ain’t voting for his punk ass anyway!
He is a bought by special interest groups and does whatever benefits himself personally. I do not trust him and would never vote for him. After decades in politics in his State, what has he actually accomplished for West Virginia?
Hahahahaha
he doesn't realise the only way to solve it is to completely destroy those that are living the partisan creedo, which is one party. And they need to be destroyed at the ballot box again and again until they reform
Whoa, my bingo card has Ted Cruz as most hated candidate
Actually, we are sick of congressmen and women calling themselves and being voted in as Dem or Repub and voting for the other team. Over and over again.
Very Poor Leadership. Swamped by ENTRAPMENT overbearing Official conduct since 2016 Then Trump's Inauguration! Me, Big Tech, 90,000+ Inves Agnc, & global Comm approved of Trump. We've been completely ignored. Patience required because WHO'S in charge. No Leaders. Vote Trump & GOP
I think they’re sick of how weak Biden is and how he is weakening the US on the world stage.
I agree with pragmatism over idealism, but Manchin isn't the one to deliver that. When he's not basking in the spotlight of his little guessing games, he's acting in a way that would suggest he's being paid under the table by republicans. We need a real centrist.
He should just run against Biden. He is about the only sain Democrat left.
…and this guy!
Imagine the grift he and his family could do! WV and big Pharma is just the beginning!
I'm sick of him.
He’s not a democrat in my book.
Declined or said he has next year to decide
We already have a reasonable responsible middle. That’s why we can’t have nice things like child tax credits and M4A.
Senator Manchin says he's a centrist but his actions give us a different result. If he's a centrist he should argue for passage of clean debt ceiling and also for 'common sense gun reforms' as well as a 'ban of Assault weapons'! Americans are also sick of daily mass shootings.
I am a Republican and think that Manchin would be 10* better than either Biden or Trump.
Right, noted centrist Joe Manchin.
Never voting for Democrats again after the way they are handling covid and now ignoring it. Done voting for either party. TheDemocrats
What the fuck is he talking about?
Then stop dividing people Manchin! Americans want you to end the dam filibuster so we can codify Roe & voting rights into law. You suck!🤮💪🇺🇸
No Americans are sick of politicians vote the way their contributors tell them to vote.
You are full of it Joe. Get the hell out of the senate. You suck!
He’s bought and paid for by the coal industry. Joe Manchin worked to further that divide for the sake of profit so he can fuck all the way off.
Here is my middle you saltine cracker 🖕
Screw joe manchin. He goes wherever the wind blows his sorry A$$. 😎
Marxists and Communists always demonize their opponents, they have no tolerance for freedom. The Democrat party today is controlled by the same radical and evil forces
We are also sick of Sen_JoeManchin, make no mistake about it. And so is his state.
He's never cared about Americans when he voted against anything that would help the average American, he's here to make money for himself.
Voters pretty much communicated that they are tired of the division and vitriol at the midterms but guess who keeps driving a wedge…
He’s not the answer
Somebody ought to tell Joe, 'the fly' on Mike Pence head has a better chance of becoming president Joe does!
Somebody has to get fewer votes than Mike Pence
Nothing “moderate” or “centrist” about that guy, I’m not sure why the media keeps trying to frame him as such.
This country has been divided ever since the Republican and Democratic parties were formed. It will always be like that no matter what
Americans are sick of Joe Manchin, his yacht and Maserati…
he is right Manchin2024
How can there be not a division? When Republicans demand democrats just get in line, accept what they want, don't argue, and just do as your told without questions. Give up our progress, return to Jim crow, and Fachism.
This is true. Most are in the middle which is what many thought we were getting with Biden. Turned out not so much
Sadly our country is too far gone to come together. We need a centrists government but the loud extremist win
WHY would America elect Sen_JoeManchin ? West Virginia has the WORST Live Expectancy in the Nation.
Joe Manchin: The Presidential Candidate With ZERO Self-Awareness. 🖕
We've known for a long time you're a republican. Just take off the mask and say it.
He sees the money making opportunity of the campaign grift. He won't win but he'll laugh all the way to the bank.
Actually Americans are sick of Joe Manchin…a narcissist who does nothing for his constituents.
Manchin is such a healer ! 😂 He’s the best at it that money can buy.
I'm just sick of him.
He's wrong. Americans are sick of both parties. It's not a division. We have a BlueCult and a RedCult, then the other third is Independent.
We're kind of sick of him too.
He is not a Moderate . He is a Conservative
More votes for Trump
He’s not a centrist. He’s a garden variety rightwinger.
True_Allah_Kabir Holy Quran proves Kabir Saheb Ji is the Almighty God. He alone is immortal and worthy of being worshipped. Baakhabar Sant Rampal ji
He knows WV is done with his ass.
Yes, we’re sick of it, but Manchin knows perfectly well it all comes from one party.
He can forget it.
Who tf does he think is president now
He is a necessary evil and we absolutely need him.
Manchin is far from centrist.
No, please go away
Manchin wants to see Trump in office again that much, does he?
He is part of the problem
I am a lifelong unaffiliated voter. I voted for Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Obama and Biden. I would never vote for you.
Why do most presidential candidates seem to be unaware of how wholly unlikable they are? Just... completely oblivious.
They maybe sick of it but they feed into it
Manchin is neither centrist or moderate, he is to the right of a Dem party which already resembles the GOP during its transition to Reaganism.
Politics in this country have become an utter joke.
Confronting political division means being someone that all Americans hate
And we can always count on you to say no to Democrats and yes to Republican's
He’s done
Sen_JoeManchin even a “centrist” wouldn’t pick you. You’re a bum.
'Americans are sick of the political division I helped create!'
Using political DA to charge candidates on false charges is worse than Jan 6
He is now a Republican and should run ad such.
Yeah. And your fake out as s dem. Fork you.
To Manchin being in the middle means being a total sell-out to the fossil fuel industry
He should switch parties. He needs to join the Republicans.
Divisive creep.
He’s not moderate. He is conservative
A literal coal baron, but according to CNN a 'moderate', a 'centrist'
They are sick of hypocrites like you Sen_JoeManchin
Joe thinks that because he was the 51st vote that we needed to keep onside for a while he's now King of the Middle. Except you're not Joe.
