MSNBC host Katie Toole slammed Sen. Joe Manchin (D-Va.) for not yet supporting President Biden in a recent interview.
When Manchin suggested on Friday’s “MSNBC Report” segment that he was not supporting Biden because he was waiting to move to the center on certain issues, the host criticized Manchin’s decision. he questioned, insisting that even if he’s not happy with Biden, he’s still president. At least it’s a better choice than Trump.
“For love of my country, I cannot endorse or support Donald Trump,” the retiring Democratic congressman said, but stopped short of touting Biden as the right choice. He pointed out how far to the left he believes the current president leans.

Manchin added, “I think his staff has pushed him too far to the left. I don’t think that’s where he should be. I don’t believe he’s there internally. — That never happened before — and I want to meet him.” please return. I’m still working hard and trying to see if I can help out there a little bit. ”
“So you’re waiting for him to make a move? Is that what you’re supporting?” Toole asked.
“Well, I think he needs to be moved. I really do,” the councilor replied.
Ture continued to push him by saying the choice between Biden and the former president was simple enough and that policy “doesn’t really matter.”
“I’ve heard that they’re waiting for Joe Biden to move to the center on some issues that he seems to have done in the past, but if you’re talking about Donald Trump’s character, it’s not a binary choice. “No? Is it a threat?” she asked. “You said he would scare the bejesus out of you. You were talking about how he was unfit for democracy. You just mentioned it, but it’s second nature. Isn’t it a choice?”

“I think the policy differences with Joe Biden don’t really matter when you’re talking about someone else running against him, someone who’s going to win. It’s one or the other,” Toole pressed.
In response, the congressman said Biden is “too far to the left” and needs to return to the center to win back the voters he needs to defeat Trump, who has a “solid base.” Ta.
Mr. Tourer has been a vocal critic of Mr. Trump throughout his political career. In his book chronicling the 2016 Trump campaign, he writes that he “nearly threw up” after learning Trump had won.
Ture then said, “It sounds to me like you’re waiting, but by November there will be a statement of support, and it’s not Donald Trump. Now you’re trying to use your influence and power. It looks like there is,” he said. Use it to try to sway him on some issues. ”
The host again tried to get him to admit that he supports Biden, saying, “I understand that it’s a binary choice and I’ll end up siding with him, but that’s wrong.” Is that so?” he asked.

Manchin said this is not about him, but about voters who won’t participate unless Biden “gives them a reason” to vote.
Toole asked him again, “Are you one of them?” After he dodged the question, she asked, “But are you going to be on the sidelines in November?”
“Oh, I’ve never sat on the sidelines,” he retorted. “We’ll just have to wait and see.”
