and deliberate on the way forward. if there is anything i could do to produce a favorable outcome, more campaign stops, more interviews, i would do it. i cannot ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources, if we do not have a clear path of injury rate accordingly i am today suspending my campaign. i m proud to have delivered a one 100% of my promises and i will not stop now. it is clear to me a majority of republican primary voters want to give donald trump another chance. they watch his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance and they see democrats using two attack a him i ve had disagreements with donald trump such as on the coronavirus pandemic and his elevation of anthony fauci. trump is superior to the current incumbent joe biden. that is clear. i signed a pledge to support the republican nominee and i will honor that pledge. he has my endorsement because we cannot go back to the old republican guard of yesteryear. repackage form of warm
nation. you come down here and try to interact with people. boo! you be nice to people. this isn t very nice, is it? now, we can t say for certain why people booed him. it could have been for prev previously blocking juneteenth from becoming a holiday or trying to block covid-19 vaccines. questioning whether people were rioting. they were and if it was actually an armed insurrection and it was, what we do know is what one at attendee told the milwaukee journal sent until saying his politics were not for us. mark becker a former republican county chairman in wisconsin. mark, you ve known senator johnson for many years. does it make any sense to you why he thought it was a good idea to head to milwaukee this weekend for the juneteenth celebration? he blocked legislation that would have made the day a holiday. were you surprised at the reception? i wasn t surprised at the reception at all but i was
democratic colleagues. gary tuchman thanks very much. i want perspective now from our cnn chief political analyst gloria berjer. you ve covered senator manchin and interviewed him. do you think he is worried about hearing from the few democrats that exist in the state of west virginia? if anything isn t it helpful for joe manchin? that state voted overwhelmingly for the former president. he needs to appeal to republicans in his state to stay in power. he does. first of all i have my question about whether joe manchin is even going to run for re-election again. he is up in 2024. at that time he ll be i believe 77 years old so maybe he is doing this because he actually believes that the filibuster, keeping the filibuster compels moderation. it doesn t make democrats feel any happier. one thing i would point out is republicans aren t giving joe manchin any love either. he wanted the january 6th commission. they said, no. he said to them, you know what?
