The only time Manchin sided with Republicans was when he voted to confirm Kavenaugh because that was RIGHT BEFORE the 2018 MidTerms. He then got re-elected and was safe until 2026. So he then voted TWICE to impeach Trump.

Murkowski is a RINO traitor. In fact, I have a feeling that since Murky knows she hasn't got a chance at re-election, she's going to go out in a "blaze of glory" and side with the Demons on DC statehood and court-packing.

You are most likely correct in Manchin wanting someone like Murky to coordinate votes with.

Think about it. If Trump runs in 2024 Manchin will also be running for re-election. He barely won in 2018.
