Former Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) revealed that the Democrat Party is expected to reach a consensus on Joe Biden’s viability as their nominee for the White House by this Sunday.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Sen. Manchin suggested that clarity about Biden’s intentions in the upcoming election might soon emerge.
When asked by NBC’s Ryan Nobles about Biden’s capability to continue his campaign and serve another term, Manchin responded evasively, urging the public to “wait until this weekend” for a more definite perspective.
Ryan Nobles: Are you personally confident that he has what it takes to not only continue this election but also to serve for another four years?
Joe Manchin: 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. His health and well-being, I think, should be everyone’s first and foremost concern—his, his family’s, and all of us. He’s fine. Doctors are saying he’s fine, so I’m going to take that for his word and go from there. So I’m just going to wait. I really am.

In an interview with Newsmax, Senator Joe Manchin suggested that a decision about Joe Biden’s continuation as the Democrat candidate could emerge by this Sunday, following intense internal party discussions about Biden’s viability.
Newsmax reported:
Manchin’s prediction came in response to questions from Kilmeny Duchardt, Newsmax congressional correspondent, as he headed to a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee meeting where Biden’s viability was to be discussed.
“Let me make it very clear: My main concern is the health and wellbeing of the president, OK,” Manchin said. “And I think he’ll make the right decision. And that’s the only decision. The right decision is what’s right for him. He’s going to make that decision. It’s right for the country, then we’ll make a decision from there.”
Manchin noted that after the current NATO meeting ends, “I think everyone will be talking over Friday, Saturday, and by Sunday, you should have some idea of what’s going on.”
Pressure from members of his own party has increased exponentially on Biden in the days since his poor showing against former President Donald Trump in their June 27 debate.
