Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
After he was pressed on Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his criminally convicted son, who was facing a potential 17-year prison sentence, Manchin on Monday said that he understood where the president was coming from as “a father.”
The West Virginian lawmaker declined to endorse the president after he announced a bid for a second term last year. When Joe Biden dropped out of the race, and Vice President Kamala Harris took up his mantle at the top of the Democratic ticket, Manchin also refused to back his No. 2. After Harris suffered a bruising defeat to Trump during the election earlier this month, Manchin said the Republican had won the race because the Democratic Party had abandoned working-class voters.
