[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I don't think committee assignments are going to matter much when they lose the majority shortly. Manchin is thinking a year out now.

Wait until tonight. If Dems lose, the panic begins. [/quote]

He is negotiating with republicans about chairmanships. Rumors say he is going to switch parties in December.[/quote]

Ohhh this is getting good. I wonder what he’d take to NOT switch over? A dead BBB Act maybe?

The Dems would do anything to prevent this - their ability to bring anything to the table or even continue voting in judges is at stake. [/quote]

The only way Manchin switches is if he’s planning to retire from politics entirely after 2024.  It’s an empty threat.[/quote]

I will amend this slightly.  It’s also possible Manchin switches if Democrats have told him they’re done with him - no more committee seats, no more fundraising assistance, no more seat at the table when the real negotiations occur.  If they are preparing to completely ice him out, he may see switching parties as his only possible lifeline, tenuous as it may be.[/quote]
