mr. manchin's comments from west virginia.oining us now, and reordering, bloomberg injury corresponded in washington. let's get that out of the way now. is luxury over in washington? annmarie: i do not know if it was ever alive in washington, but there is a sale at the moment, private sale, if you k now, you know. tom: i want to conflate these two together. you have joe manchin who has lived 50% votes from west virginia against robert byrd eight years ago. to cut to the chase, did he make this decision because he really thought he couldn't win? annmarie: i think that is part of it. if you look at a recent emerson pole and have him against republican governor jim justice, he is trailing by about 13 points. this will be an incredibly challenging race for him. and he has already flirted with the fact that this will be the end of his time in the senate. he has talked about the fact he does think there needs to be a conversation about the middle, but also have to look at the reality of what he is facing in west virginia, and that i

mr. dowd, joe manchin says this was one of the toughest decisions of his life. was it the toughest decision or was he about to face the toughest race of his life against jim justice? is that why he's dropping out? >> well, if you had to weigh tough decisions, a tough decision would be attempting to win west virginia one more time. that would've been the tough decision. i actually find it quite a musing that we're having this conversation about joe manchin 's election prospects less than two days after democrats won in blue areas, purple areas, and red areas, including a place like kentucky, where the democratic governor won again. two days later, joe manchin is making the statement. the other thing i find amazing is, and i think this keeps -- this narrative keeps getting pushed about like there's some centrist party out there that somehow nobody represents. the funny thing about that is, almost on every single issue, the democratic party is exactly where the center of the country's. on roe v. wade, on guns, on raising minimum wage, on higher taxes, on higher inc

manchin could run for president. chatter will only intensify as democrats threat with the viability of president biden. mr. biden is 80. manchin is 76. >> you better have plan b. because if plan a shows that we're going to the far reaches of both sides of far left and the far right and the people don't want to go to the far left and the far right, they want to be governed from the middle, i think there is. you better have that plan b available and ready to go. >> manchin had left capitol hill for the week when the news broke. gop west virginia governor jim justice and representative allen mooney are seeking the republican nomination to run for the seat. neil? >> we'll watch closely. thanks, chad. the math is prohibitive for democrats because there's 23 of their seats up for grabs next year. three are independent senators. 10 for republicans. let's get the read on what could happen now from dan america, the mes messager. how does this change the math? the senator had an uphill problem. that doesn't mean that democrats in general have a fight on their hands to keep their control of the senate, right? >> it's

mr. biden is the ideal messenger to connect the dots from moderates on this issue. his personal journey on abortion rights as minimal documented, and mayors that many americans. now, democrats, they have to decide which -- manchinroductive freedom for all, anita raju. , many there now been seven valid initiatives on abortion rights since roe was overturned. for each one, americans came out, they voted to protect the procedure, what is letting all telling you? >> and further affirms these aliens of this, issued it also tells us that the longer abortion bans are in place, the more that average american voters understand what is at stake. you know, i think that a lot of folks, they go the time that is passed since dobbs as made this aliens of the issue decline, and if anything it is actually made it stronger. so we now know with 21 states to lift abortion, bans that despite all the victories we have had as a movement, there is a lot more work to go. and democrats are understanding now that when they stand for something and they follow through with it, like so many democrats who won in 2022 have done, it is really resonating with voters. >> i want to ask you about the voters that show of in this type of election as
