POLITICO Playbook: Manchin declines to endorse Biden’s reelection


With help from Eli Okun and Garrett Ross

A few sticklers have written in to say that JOE MANCHIN’s five-Sunday-show marathon this morning is not actually a full Ginsburg because he did it via remote, which is no big deal compared to the challenge of getting from studio-to-studio in D.C. to do all five hits.

“The OG full Ginsburg was in-person interviews, not one remote after another,” one Sunday show pedant texted us.

SEAN SPICER wrote in to note that while at the RNC he was once attacked on Twitter after calling it a full Ginsburg when a GOP guest did five shows via remote. “It’s only a full if in studio — modified if done remote,” Spicer insisted.

It’s true that the in-town full Ginsburg presents some knotty logistical issues considering the scattered layout of the network and cable TV studios. “Toughest leg of the Ginsburg is getting across town from @FaceTheNation to the multiple shows at North Capitol,” Ryan McKenna pointed out on Twitter.

More seriously, the Manchin-a-rama had the effect of preventing the White House from getting its people out today to push a very different political message. While Manchin wanted to shape perceptions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 — It’s a centrist deficit-fighting pro-West Virginia coal country bill! — the White House wanted to blast Republicans for filibustering the burn pit bill in the Senate on Wednesday night.

On Saturday, the White House offered VA Secretary DENIS MCDONOUGH to Sunday shows but some had to decline because they were already booked up. (McDonough did end up on CNN’s “State of the Union.”)

So what did Manchin actually say? First of all, the man seemed a little tired — he’s recovering from Covid — and proved that one of the tricky parts of doing five shows is getting everyone’s name right. He called CNN’s Jake Tapper “Chuck.”

To the real Chuck — Chuck Todd — on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” he made some news when asked if he wants Democrats to retain Congress:

“I’m not making those choices or decisions on that. I’m going to work with whatever I have. I’ve always said that. I think the Democrats have great candidates that are running. They’re good people I’ve worked with. And I have a tremendous amount of respect and friendship with my Republican colleagues. So I can work on either side very easily.” Watch the 1:28 clip“,”link”:{“target”:”NEW”,”attributes”:[],”url”:”https://twitter.com/MeetThePress/status/1553721172587696128″,”_id”:”00000182-5539-d8fc-a3ef-75bb32f30008″,”_type”:”33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df”},”_id”:”00000182-5539-d8fc-a3ef-75bb32f30009″,”_type”:”02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266″}”>Watch the 1:28 clip

On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Manchin told Jake (not Chuck) that “hopefully” Sen. KYRSTEN SINEMA will support the bill, which affirms the fact that Manchin, Majority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER, and the White House made no effort to get the enigmatic Arizona senator on board before the secret deal was announced:

“I think that, basically, when she looks at the bill and sees the whole spectrum of what we’re doing and all of the energy we’re bringing in, all of the reduction of prices and fighting inflation by bringing prices down, by having more energy, hopefully, she will be positive about it. But she will make her decision. And I respect that.”

Manchin was also surprisingly magnanimous about all the attacks on him from the left. “I take none of that personally at all,” he told Tapper. “I understand the frustrations they had.”

On CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Manchin addressed the attacks from the other side, Republicans saying he somehow double-crossed them by making this deal:

“I never told anybody that I wasn’t going to do something. If I had a chance to fix the energy policy of the United States of America, and I didn’t do it, shame on me. If I had the chance to reduce the amount of inflation of people in West Virginia and across the country are enduring right now, shame on me. … This is solutions Americans want. We were able to provide these solutions, let’s not make them political.”

Finally, on ABC’s “This Week,” Manchin was asked whether he would support JOE BIDEN in 2024. Seems like a pretty simple question for a Democratic senator, but Manchin wouldn’t endorse the president’s reelection and instead changed the subject:

“Everybody’s worried about the election. That’s the problem. It’s a 2022 election, 2024 election. I’m not getting involved in that. … This type of legislation wouldn’t happen unless the president of the United States was involved. And he gave – he gave his blessing and signed off on it. I can assure you that. And I appreciate that more than anybody knows, because this has been tough.”

FIRST IN PLAYBOOK — We are officially 100 days away from the midterm elections. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee released its “100 Days Out” memo today, and we got a sneak peek. Here’s how the organization views things: “Retirements, recruitment failures and vicious primaries – coupled with Trump’s endorsements – have left Republicans with a roster of flawed and deeply damaged candidates, while Democrats are running strong, battle-tested incumbents and challengers who are backed by their own unique coalition of voters.” Read the full memo“,”link”:{“target”:”NEW”,”attributes”:[],”url”:”https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000182-5497-dbd0-af97-d79770770000″,”_id”:”00000182-5539-d8fc-a3ef-75bb32f50006″,”_type”:”33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df”},”_id”:”00000182-5539-d8fc-a3ef-75bb32f50007″,”_type”:”02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266″}”>Read the full memo

In the other chamber CBS News released its 2022 Battleground Tracker this morning. The findings: The model has Republicans “with a lead in the race for the House, with 230 seats to 205 seats for Democrats,” Anthony Salvanto, Kabir Khanna, Jennifer De Pinto and Fred Backus report. (Note: the model has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 12 seats.)

BIDEN’S WEEK IN REVIEW: WaPo’s Yasmeen Abutaleb takes a look at the past seven days for Biden as put a nice legislative victory in his pocket but was also met with yet another bruising economic report. “Now the question becomes whether Biden’s run of legislative wins — particularly if Democrats manage to pass their health-care, climate and clean energy bill, which contains a hugely popular measure to let Medicare negotiate the prices of some drugs — will be enough for Biden to help overcome the stubbornly high inflation that has helped sink his approval ratings.”

1. NEW JAN. 6 COMMITTEE TARGETS: “FBI failures before the Capitol siege avoided the Jan. 6 committee’s scorn. Not for long,”“,”link”:{“target”:”NEW”,”attributes”:[],”url”:”https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/fbi-failures-capitol-siege-avoided-jan-6-committees-scorn-not-long-rcna38615″,”_id”:”00000182-5539-d8fc-a3ef-75bb32fc0000″,”_type”:”33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df”},”_id”:”00000182-5539-d8fc-a3ef-75bb32fc0001″,”_type”:”02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266″}”>“FBI failures before the Capitol siege avoided the Jan. 6 committee’s scorn. Not for long,” by NBC’s Ryan Reilly: “Although the House Jan. 6 committee has presented evidence of the carnage law enforcement faced at the Capitol that day, little time has been devoted to law enforcement’s failure to predict and prevent the attack — at least not publicly.

“But behind the scenes, sources tell NBC News, those failures have not been forgotten. As the committee prepares for an additional round of public hearings in September, they’re expected to put more focus on the intelligence and law enforcement failures at the FBI and Department of Homeland Security that left police woefully underprepared for the mob that stormed the Capitol.”

2. THE POST-ROE WORLD: Alarm bells are still ringing inside the Republican Party as it tries to strike the right tone and pull the correct levers in the wake of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, WaPo’s Hannah Knowles writes. “Uncompromising positions and loaded rhetoric on key social issues are escalating concerns within GOP circles that the party is moving too far out of sync with popular opinion, projecting new hostility to gay people and potentially alienating women voters in high-stakes races.”

CHRISTINE MATTHEWS, a longtime GOP strategist in Virginia: “I feel we’re on this sort of seesaw where one party sort of gets the upper hand on social-cultural issues, then they overplay that hand. … Republicans have taken things too far.

3. WHAT COMES NEXT: Insider’s Grace Panetta and Brent Griffiths have a deeply reported piece illuminating conservatives’ effort to hold “an unprecedented convention to re-write” the U.S. Constitution: “The December 2021 ALEC meeting represents a flashpoint in a movement spearheaded by powerful conservative interests, some of whom are tied to Trumpworld and share many of Trump’s goals, to alter the nation’s bedrock legal text since 1788. It’s an effort that has largely taken place out of public view. But interviews with a dozen people involved in the constitutional convention movement, along with documents and audio recordings reviewed by Insider, reveal a sprawling, well-funded, at least partly by cryptocurrency, and impassioned campaign taking root across multiple states. Notably fueling them: success.”

5. WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN: Biden and Dems want to go big on chips — that was made clear when they finally passed the long-awaited CHIPS+ legislation. “But even as Biden signs into law more than $52 billion in “incentives” designed to lure chipmakers to the U.S., an unusual alliance of industry lobbyists, hard-core China hawks and science advocates says the president’s dream lacks a key ingredient — a small yet critical core of high-skilled workers,” Brendan Bordelon and Eleanor Mueller report. “It’s a politically troubling irony: To achieve the long-sought goal of returning high-end manufacturing to the United States, the country must, paradoxically, attract more foreign workers.”
