In reply to the discussion: Manchin Declines to Endorse Biden for Re-Election [View all]lapucelle
(20,937 posts)33. What's deceitful about a CNN headline with a direct quote?
"should he run again, I think that I, you know, I think
well take a look at it."

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday would not commit to backing President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election, saying instead that well cross that bridge when we get to it.
I think if the President has a vision, then thats something certainly were all willing to entertain and examine when the time comes, Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat who wields a significant amount of influence over the partys progressive wing, told CNNs Dana Bash on State of the Union when asked if she plans to support Biden in his 2024 reelection bid.
Thats not a yes, Bash said, to which the congresswoman replied: We should endorse when we get to it, but I believe that the Presidents been doing a very good job so far, and, you know, should he run again, I think that I, you know, I think well take a look at it.
But right now, we need to focus on winning a majority instead of a presidential election, she added, referring to this years November midterm elections

He is in WV. Why is anyone surprised. Trump won that state by a big margin, and he is just playing

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