There's a growing sentiment here on FR that West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin will switch to the GOP, though. That would be an interesting turn of events. It seems like he's the only Democrat left in public office in that state.

I don’t want him in the Republican caucus. He’s devious and would merely be a reinforcement to the RINO faction within the Republican Senate caucus.
He can be free to vote with the Republicans but he can do that as a ‘RAT. As the sole surviving West Virginia ‘RAT in Congress, he’ll be living in fear and will have to vote mostly with the Republicans to have any hope of surviving politically.
