Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) sidestepped questions about whether he will run for reelection in 2024 amid reports of him privately being undecided on the matter.
joining. time for joe to go. who would be the democratic nominee in 2024? we will tell you. a short time ago the senate passed a massive spending bill called the inflation reduction act after more than 24 hours of debate. democrats were able to get it passed using a process called budget reconciliation which allows them to get around the senate filibuster. vice president kamala harris had to cast the deciding vote. on this vote, it is 50/50. the senate being equally divided the vice president votes in the affirmative and the amendment is passed. [cheering and applause] democrats made it happen even though senator bernie sanders agreed with the congressional budget office. economists and a bipartisan congressional study that found that the bill would not
know-how to calm that. and that person is joe biden. that speech begins in just about an hour s time. thank you very much for your time on this sunday morning. back to my panel. mike memoli. the latest pick for the magazine digs into why it is time for joe to go. he writes if defeating trump in 2020 is as important to biden as he so often claims, he should end his campaign and remove himself from contention for president. let me start there and react to what the senator had to say. your piece centers on the fact that we need, in your estimation, an anti-racist president. help us understand what you mean by that? well, i think, david, you saw early on in barack obama s presidency the urgency of which the right approached his election essentially. they thought it was an emergency. they thought that it was something they needed to address with a tea party movement. they thought it was something that they needed to, you know,
