Asked whether he will be endorsing President Biden in the case he runs for a second term, Sen. Joe Manchin said Thursday that he would rather “wait and see.”
“If Joe Biden runs again and he is the Democratic nominee, depending on who the Republican nominee is, we will just have to wait and see,” Manchin told Chris Cuomo during a NewsNation interview.
President Biden and former President Barack Obama acclaimed Manchin this week for his unexpected deal with Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer resulting in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
“I am not predicting anything or how I would support or not support, or get involved or not,” Manchin added.
“But I can tell you this: Whoever the elected president is – Democrat, Republican or independent – every one of us should pray that they succeed.”
