Senator Joe Manchin recently delivered a harsh indictment of President Joe Biden’s political career during an appearance with John Catsimatidis on The Cats Roundtable.
Asserting that Biden has been steered so far to the left” that he doubts the possibility of effecting change from within the system.
Manchin expressed a pivot in his approach, intending to rally the radical middle as an alternative means of mobilization.
Manchin expressed his dismay by saying, “Makes no sense at all, it’s not the person we thought was going to bring the country together,” citing Biden’s apparent turn toward the extreme left as unexpected.
He connected the deliberate actions of Washington’s officials to the division prevalent in America, emphasizing their financial motives in perpetuating discord, framing it as a more profitable method of governing.
Manchin’s Centrism Amid Polarized Politics
Expressing his disillusionment after 13 years in the Senate, Manchin declared his inability to reform the system internally, opting instead to mobilize the radical middle, a term he coined to represent a centrist position amid the polarized political landscape.
Senator Manchin’s recent conversations regarding his future in politics have generated widespread speculation and discussion.
While confirming he won’t seek reelection to the Senate, he expressed openness to a potential presidential run in 2024 as a third-party candidate. He iterated a willingness to take any action necessary to serve and protect the country.
