Senate Democrats Worry Joe Manchin Presidential Bid May Spoil Race in Trump’s Favor
Breitbart ^ | 11/20/2023 | SEAN MORAN

Posted on 11/20/2023 12:38:51 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) potential presidential bid may not just spoil the Senate Democrats’ chances of keeping the majority; many Democrats now worry that it may spoil the election in favor of former President Donald Trump.

“I think it would be very, very unfortunate if Joe Manchin decided to do that,” Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) said of Manchin’s possible presidential bid.

“I know he’s a supporter of President Biden and has been an important person here in the U.S. Senate in terms of getting things done. And he knows that if he were to step in [to the race] that it would make it much more likely Donald Trump would be president again, and I know Joe Manchin doesn’t want that,” she added.

Manchin and RFK would make it impossible for Biden to win even with massive fraud.

What I don’t understand about Manchin is if he is just trying to do the party a favor by forcing Biden out (making it obvious winning is impossible) or if he wants to be President. RFK obviously wants it.

As I have said before, I can see four or even five tickets contending next November. Party like it’s 1860.

I hadn’t heard that Manchin was thinking of entering.

What a tool. I hope he does.

With both Manchin and RFK Jr running it would require Biden to cheat well beyond the total population of the US.

The DemonRATS can handle anything Trump can throw at them. They just print more mail in banana boat ballots.

But.. but.. but.. When Manchin first announced his presidential bid, we were told this were hurt Trump’s chances. How, oh, how could this be?

If voting is legit, they don’t need to worry.

This election will most likely head to the HOR. I don’t see anyone getting to 270.

Cornel West, Jill Stein, RFK Jr. and Manchin. Two leftest, One centrist Democrat and one left leaning independent. It seems like this would be to the detriment of Biden more than Trump.

Not a political expert but I have been hoping for a viable dem candidate.

Why? To force Biden out of his basement to actually campaign. Can you see Biden and Manchin in an actual televised primary debate?

I know, I'm being overly optimistic but how many dems, even LIV hardcore libs, will vote for Joe if there's another dem choice?

Yeah, I know I'm being overly optimistic. Probably Manchin just wants a new house, a la Bernie Sanders...

Don’t be ridiculous! Only Republicans do that to their own party!
