Some around Biden agree Manchin may have a point in how to make the pitch.
As Biden tries to assert the success of his presidency, Manchin says he shaped “everything” in the president’s agenda.
“It’s been far less organized than he expected it to be” and “he doesn’t see a plan coming together,” a person familiar with Hogan’s thinking told CNN.
“No matter what side of the fence you might be on, where you are for philosophically, we learned to navigate that,” he told CNN.
Several anti-Trump Republicans who listened to Manchin’s speech told CNN they were happy to hear him.
