Sen. Joe Manchin, an independent from West Virginia, said Sunday it's time for President Biden to step aside as a presidential candidate and 'pass the torch to a new generation.'
Independent Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia on Sunday called on President Biden to step aside. 'He will go down with a legacy unlike many people as one of the finest and surely a patriot, an American,' Manchin said of Biden during an appearance on ABC's 'This Week.' 'And so with that, I come with a heavy heart to think the time has come for him to pass the torch to a new generation.
' In the three weeks since Biden's disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump, Manchin said he 'thought the president needed time to evaluate and make a decision if he was going to at that time.' The senator also acknowledged Democratic colleagues facing competitive races in Congress or at the state-level in November who fear Biden's re-election campaign could ruin their chances.
