Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.)—joined the growing calls for President Joe Biden to make way for a new Democratic candidate to take on former President Donald Trump. “I came to this decision with a heavy heart that I think it’s time to pass the torch to a new generation,” Manchin, who was a Democrat before switching his registration to Independent earlier this year, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday morning.
