Sen. Joe Manchin called for a competitive Democratic nomination process on Monday after President Biden announced he was going to drop out and endorse Kamala Harris.
Sen. Joe Manchin, I-W. Va., called for a competitive Democratic nomination process on Monday, saying he wants centrist voters to feel like they have a voice. 'I want the middle to have a voice. I want the center of this country to be able to say, ‘We have a voice. We’re not extreme left or extreme right.' I don’t live my life that way, why do I have to only have two choices of a party that basically have taken the extremes?' he told CNN's Kasie Hunt.
Biden, in a lengthy letter posted to social media on Sunday, touted his accomplishments and said he would speak more about his decision to drop out later in the week. 'It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president,' Biden wrote in a public letter.
