Those little things really help us out, and they help our channel continue to grow. So it looks like Senator Schumer's days as the majority leader are numbered

It looks like that part of his career is about to come to a close. The 2024 map was always going to be tough for Democrats

You have Tester, you have Sherrod Brown, you have a lot of seats that are tenuous in pretty red states

It was always going to be tough. But one Democrat who has maintained his position in a red state is Senator Joe Manchin

But now he's decided that he's not going to campaign for re-election. And that's actually not even the worst news for Democrats

Let's take a look at this and then I'll tell you how it gets even worse. I got into politics because of an art

argument I had 40 years ago with my dad. John Mansion owned a furniture store in Farmington

West Virginia, a small coal mining town of hardworking people. And one day our local state

representative came in and asked dad for a favor, saying, you owe me for all the things I've done

for your little town. When the man left, I turned to my dad and said, now wait a minute

isn helping Farmington that man job That moment defined the difference between self and public service When I told my dad that I was going to run for office I was going to run for He said oh Joe politics is a bad business I telling you right now stay out of it I didn disagree that often with my father but that time I did

I reminded him of the famous line from President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address

Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country

I was 13 when I first heard it, and I'm still inspired today by it

My family were devoted Catholics who immigrated from Italy and Czechoslovakia. So to us, President Kennedy was held in the highest regard, and I knew President Kennedy's words would sway my dad

It took him about a minute, but my dad said that he would support me running if I made a vow to serve all the people, friend or foe, and not just myself

That promise made to my dad all those years ago has been my guiding light

I've never cared about where good ideas came from, and I never blame one side for creating

a problem, nor believe that only one side could fix them. When America is at her best, we get things done by putting country before party, working

across the aisle and finding common ground. Many times this approach has landed me in hot water, but the fight to unite has been well worth it

Today, West Virginia is attracting more investment, opportunity, and jobs than a lot of money

it has in decades. Here at home and across the country, we are building more roads, bridges, manufacturing plants

and energy infrastructure than almost any time in America history After months of deliberation and long conversation with my family I believe in my heart of hearts that I have accomplished what I set out to do for West Virginia

I have made one of the toughest decisions of my life and decided that I will not be running for re-election to the United States Senate

But what I will be doing is traveling the country and speaking out to see if there is an interest in creating a movement

to mobilize the middle and bring Americans together. To the West Virginians who have put their trust in me

and fought side by side to make our state better, it has been my honor of my life to serve you

Thank you. Every incentive in Washington is designed to make our politics extreme

The growing divide between Democrats and Republicans is paralyzing Congress and worsening our nation's problems

The majority of Americans are just plain worn out. Our economy is not working

for many Americans, from the rising cost of food and fuel and everything in between

We have a border crisis with illegal drugs entering our country and killing Americans every day

Our national debt is out of control, and Americans don't feel safe, even in their own communities

We are providing critical aid to two of our allies, fighting wars for their survival, and

we must prevent being pulled into a major war ourselves. These are not Republican or Democratic challenges

These are American challenges They affect every one of us and we need to face them together I know our country isn as divided as Washington wants us to believe We share common values of family freedom democracy dignity

and a belief that together we can overcome any challenge. We need to take back America and not let

this divisive hatred further pull us apart. Public service has and continues to drive me every day

that is the vow that I made to my father over 40 years ago and I intend to keep that vow until my dying day

May God bless America, the great state of West Virginia and each and every one of you

Now, as you see what he says, he's going to be touring the country. This man, I believe, and I think a lot of people believe

is going to run as an independent for president of the United States. And as a Democrat and a moderate Democrat

he's going to draw from Biden way more than Trump. Trump, I believe, because Trump's base is solid. It's loyal. But when you look at the polls

75% just about of Democrats say they want somebody else. When you're polling that horribly among

your own party, your base is not loyal like Trump says. Trump isn't going to lose voters. Biden is

That's my opinion. I want your guys' opinion, so please let me know in the comments
