Joe Biden Dropping Out? Manchin Says “Wait Until This Weekend”

Is Joe Biden going to step down this weekend?

Speculation is rising that he very well might be, following Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin’s cryptic answer when asked about Biden’s future as the Democrat Party’s presidential nominee.

During an interview, Manchin was asked, “Are you personally confident that he has what it takes to not only continue this election but also to serve for another four years?”

And, his response was, “I think that if you just wait until this weekend there’ll be more comes out. I believe that we’ll be able to have a better, clearer view of what’s happening.”

This was the first time Manchin spoke out about Biden since his humiliating debate performance nearly two weeks ago.

WVNS Bluefield reported:

Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) is urging the public to be patient in what may lie ahead for President Joe Biden as more Democrats question if he is fit for a second term.

It’s been 12 days since the first presidential debate, but the debate about the president’s future is far from over.

The senior West Virginia senator made his first public comments on the unsteady debate performance the president had with former President Donald Trump.

Manchin says House and Senate members have now returned to the nation’s capital for the first time since the debate.

So far, nine House Democrats have called on Biden to step aside from re-nomination, but no Democrats in the Senate have followed suit. Sen. Manchin says the situation is being assessed.

What do you think?

Why did Sen. Manchin tell everyone to “wait until this weekend?”

Will Joe Biden be dropping out?

Keep in mind that this weekend is right before the Republican National Convention.

Could they be timing Biden’s resignation with the RNC?
