[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will Manchin follow?
My bet is Yes[/quote]

No he won't. That won't play in WV.[/quote]

Are you sure about that?

Shortly after Manchin voted for the Inflation Reduction Act legislation, which doesn’t work to reduce inflation, his approval rating in West Virginia plummeted.

Mooney is going to run against him in 2024.[/quote]

What is the upside for Manchin of quitting the Democratic party?  I can't see one.  On the other hand, there are a lot of downsides.  Democrats might nominate someone else.  He would have to spend money to get on the ballot.  He would lose access to party funding.  He might lose votes from Democrats.[/quote]

Manchin can’t be too worried about a Democratic challenger. Meanwhile he gets to operate as a de facto centrist Republican and tell his constituents about supposed bipartisan bona fides while cruising around in his Maserati. The best of both worlds cashing corporate donor checks for blocking filibuster reform. [/quote]
