Senator Joe Manchin Slams Democratic Socialism on CBS Face the Nation

Former West Virginia senator Joe Manchin appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation with his daughter, Heather Manchin, CEO of Americans Together. During the interview, Manchin denounced the Democratic socialist platform, stating, “No way. My God, no,” and warned that proposals to dismantle police, prisons, and other government structures would undermine public safety.

He emphasized support for “good ideas” but rejected what he described as “crazy stuff” in the socialist agenda, arguing that communities need police and stable institutions. Manchin’s remarks highlight intra‑party tensions ahead of upcoming elections and reflect broader debates over public‑order policies within the Democratic Party.
