Uhhh, was he planning on it? That would have been very embarrassing for him.
Manchin leans into the microphone, speaking slowly and clearly: “I will not run for president in 2024.”
The speaker above the microphone responds: “Sir, this is a Wendy’s.”
I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I too will not be running for president in 2024.
Disappointing, but understandable.
I will not be running for president in 2024 as well. I will see you all in 2028 as I contemplate my run at that time.
As a Canadian, I would like to announce that I too will not be seeking the presidency.
What a chump.
Pfffhahahahah
Oh wait he’s serious. Let me laugh even harder.
He’s not even a Democrat anymore, he’s an “independent”. He would only be running if he had a chance to throw the election to Trump.
As someone who grew up in WV, he ran as a democrat but he’ll always be just another Coal Baron, just like the current governor Jim Justice.
What an Orwellian lastname pfft
He was always a Republicrats at best. The dude’s as useless as tits on the moon.
He’s all about those pay cheques
Must have realized time on the houseboat as a lobbyist is much more lucrative than sitting in the Whitehouse.
Calling his yacht, Almost Heaven, a houseboat undermines his assholeness.
Looked it up. Looks like the kinda yacht you see people rent on TV for a douchey party. Or is that just all yachts? Because I swear I saw this one on 30 Rock?
Manchin has as much chance of becoming the Democratic nominee as Pence did at being the GQP candidate.
I remember one time in high school this kid at the lunch table said, “Do you know when you’re beating off and you put a finger in your butt?” And everyone was like wtf no?
This has those vibes. Nobody asked, Manchin.
Perfect analogy!
Oh shit, is this Joe Manchin’s “I’m Spartacus” moment?
Let’s also show our support:
Fuck off, Joe Manchin! Go swim in a pool of piss, you back-stabbing grifter!ohnoes.jpg
Thank the gods. The corporate democrat realized his arrogance.
hes stirring the pot or pushing for some backdoor something - thats the entire sum of his existence.
perhaps he got it or was told by adults on all sides that holy hell was about to rain down on him.
was told by adults on all sides that holy hell was about to rain down on him.
Seems plausible this is exactly what happened.
Manchin said he favored the idea of a “mini-primary” process before a candidate to replace Biden was chosen. Asked if he thought Harris was too liberal, Manchin said, “Absolutely.”
Moments earlier, Manchin was asked on CNN if he would run against Harris. “I don’t know,” he said.
but then
“Let me make it very clear to you … I am not going to be a candidate for president. I am a candidate for [remainder of this quote soft-launching a podcast has been omitted because I am sick of listening to this jerk off]” Manchin told CBS television shortly after refusing to rule out a run in another interview.
So, yeah, I wonder if he got a terse phone call between those two interviews.
