Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) went after Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) after the senator said Sunday that he chose to leave the Democratic Party because the party had changed too much.
“This is not the Democratic Party of my father and that is a great thing,” Clyburn said in a CNN “State of the Union” interview with Jake Tapper, appearing directly after Manchin.
“I remember when my father got the right to vote, or cast an effective vote, here in South Carolina. It was not until 1948 that the Democratic Party opened itself up to African Americans,” he continued.
Manchin announced Sunday that he wants President Biden to leave the presidential campaign and “pass the torch,” while Clyburn stood by Biden and left the door open to back a new nominee should the president leave the race.
