Retirement? He’s definitely preparing for a third-party presidential campaign instead, unfortunately.

He has no shot 💀

That wouldn't be the point. The point would be to hurt Joe Biden/Democrats and help Trump, which would be in the interests of the majority of his constituents.

Sure. But manchin hates being seen as a loser. That’s why he isnt running for reelection.  So I doubt him running for president just to lose and maybe get 1%. His who can’t take that

Thank God but that means West Virginia is officially lost to Dems. Gonna have to pick up another state's Senate seat. 

Shame that Dems are already set to lose 2 seats without even factoring in WV! 2024 bloodbath incoming, sadly!

Yeah, we know. He’s still probably running with No Labels.

If Manchin helped throw the election to Trump, he'd be seen as the exact opposite of a loser by West Virginians. He'd be heralded as a hero.
