14. This headline is deceitful clickbait. Manchin did not "decline to endorse Biden."

Sun Mar 5, 2023, 04:41 PM

Mar 2023

It's way too early for endorsements for a variety of reasons.

Last election, Manchin and Warren endorsed Biden in April 2020. So watch for endorsement in another 14 months or so -- if Manchin himself isn't running for president or hasn't changed parties.
