Uproar over Biden’s campaign shows no signs of abating. Manchin is latest to call for a new nominee

Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The uproar over President Joe Biden’s reelection bid is showing no signs of abating. A fifth senator is now urging Biden to withdraw from the race and let Democrats hold an “open process” for a new nominee. Biden’s campaign is acknowledging “differing opinions” but says the party will unite to defeat Republican Donald Trump. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin is an independent who considered a White House run this year and as a Democrat often bucked his party’s leadership. He’s the latest member of Congress to suggest Biden focus on the remaining months of his presidency, even as the 81-year-old incumbent plans a return to campaigning this week after isolating at his Delaware beach home with COVID-19.
