Looks like the honeymoon may be over for good ole’ Sleepy Joe? Although, his poll numbers remain decent, if you believe the polls (I don’t).
It’s Joe vs. Joe. Joe Biden and Joe Manchin. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has thrown a monkey wrench in the works. Time will tell if Manchin caves. Of course, this certainly isn’t a time for celebration. Where there’s a snake, there’s a way. Joe Biden and his fellow democrats are not to be underestimated. Their full command over the majority of the media has served them well over the years. Joe Machin could easily become the target of a cancellation, like a TV show. The democrats may decide to cancel the Joe Manchin show. The problem they have is West Virginia. If they try to primary Manchin out of office they risk a Republican beating their new candidate. This puts Manchin in the “sweet spot”.
Democrats emphasize that they are not in a panic, even as they acknowledge Biden is sailing into more turbulent waters.

The “sweet spot” could easily be soured. If Joe doesn’t play ball, surely there will be scandals in his future. If by some chance the democraps find another way to solidify their majority, Manchin will be surely be on the chopping block.
