Breitbart ^ | 05/12/2023 | NICK GILBERTSON

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) “clearly has thought about the challenges of a third party presidential bid” and could launch one at the end of this year, Washington Post columnist George Will wrote Friday.

The two-term incumbent faces a tough reelection bid — if he decides such an avenue — in deep red West Virginia. He would likely face well-liked Gov. Jim Justice (R-WV), who announced his candidacy last month and led Manchin by 14 points in a recent poll, or five-term Rep Alex Mooney (R-WV).

I thought George Will was dead?

Manchin has nothing to gain by a third party run for potus.

There will be four parties contesting the election in 2024 (just like 1860), and the GOP may well finish fourth.

In a four man race, with Biden, Joe Manchin, Trump, and some other candidate, you think Trump would be fourth????

I think Manchin should follow the example of Krysten Sinema and ditch the commiecrat party.

Obedient Dem, poor actor, Perot-wannabe Flim-Flam Manchin.

He'll likely run, especially if Trump gets the GOP nod.

He would be there to take votes from disaffected GOPers, not Dems.

I doubt that and the election of 1912 is more appropriate.

And Trump WILL be the GOP NOMINEE; not on a BULL MOOSE PARTY line!

When people talk about how bad the parties are and suggest a third party, I know they don’t have any idea how absurd that idea is. The problems isn’t the “parties”. The problem is the Democrat Party.
