  • I was expecting one simple question from Jake.. if you think Biden is okay and his cognitive abilities are still sharp and he know what's going on around the world. Why then do you need him to step down from contesting a second term?
  • @LCarrW
    He left the party why does his opinion even matter he showed the dems who he was before he switched parties
  • @zzyzx1951
    Frankly, Manchin has nothing to say that I care to hear!
  • @usasleft8602
    The Democrats are trying to overturn the results of their own primary to save democracy!😂😂😂😂
  • None of us are the same as 10 years ago … but we don’t think our uncle was eaten by cannibals
  • @PapaWooody
    Are we supposed to care what JOE MANCHIN SAYS?! He’s not even a Democrat anymore, and when he was, he wasn’t!!
  • @royg9776
    Liberal copium is severely needed in this comment section 🤣
  • @erichudson3023
    So wanting the president to step down and there's no plan for what happens afterward? That's a disaster. All these people saying step down need to come up with a plan before they say step down
  • @Ultizer
    Manchin is basically a light republican and he is leaving this year. I wouldn't be surprised if hes calling for Biden to drop out to help Trump or out of spite.
  • @Jerry-tv4bg
    Joe said he wants affordable internet access for everyone just like in the Roosevelt years 😂😂
  • @larrydraglandjr
    The Republican saying this doesn’t bother me at all. He was never a democrat.
  • @KathySoCal
    Why would you even give Manchin airtime??
  • @riosmark2
    Joe Manchin is what a joke and shame on Tapper
  • @JasonGuySmiley
    The constant framing of "everyone who is not a Democrat or republican is in the middle" is both wrong and stupid
