During an interview on "Fox News Sunday," Manchin said he has always wanted to repair ObamaCare, as opposed to repealing and replacing the former president's signature healthcare legislation.

"The only thing I'm saying toto PresidentTrump ... He's the president of all of America, Democrats and Republicans, independents, those who voted for him, those who voted against him, he is our president and I want him to succeed," Manchin said.

"I truly respectfully disagree with that statement," he said.

"I think that was a little over the top," he added, noting he is willing to sit down with Trump and his Republican colleagues to make things better in the country.
