Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) on Thursday said he offered to change his party affiliation to an independent amid tough reconciliation negotiations with President Biden and the far-left.
Manchin told reporters he had offered Biden and the far-left to become an independent if he become an “embarrassment” to the Democrat Party.

Please, age ain’t gonna stop it.
If he feels he can win, he’ll do it.
He’s positioning himself as a saner alternative to Dementia Puppet and Old Mattress….
Not saying where things will be in 2024, but I have little doubt that if Manchin thinks he has a shot he will take it.
It’s just a rhetorical device — a response to how they’re likely blasting him for not being loyal to the party.
In Independent like communist Bernie Sanders? Wow how brave. Got news for you Joe, you and Synama will never win re-election as democraps!
Joe Manchin does what is best for Joe Manchin. He stands a better chance of being reelected in heavily Trumpian W Virginia as an indepedent than a Dem, but there is no doubt he is a Dem to his core and he will causus with the Dems.
“Manchin must want to keep his seat and realize the winds are not blowing in the Dems favor”
Nope, just re-elected, he has 5 more years. But if he ever wants to step foot back in West Virginia (debatable) he needs to dial it back.
You don’t ‘offer’ to leave the party. You storm out of the caucus and tell them to go to hell! with the POTUS they rode in on.
>> This is beyond the usual Manchin angling for the biggest payout.
Agreed. I’m often critical of Manchin, but as an Independent he can opportunistically caucus with either party, and that may be necessary to keep his seat.
No doubt WV is giving him a hard time right now.

0% chance, come on.
He can’t win a rat nomination for President and he can’t win a general election as an Independent.
As if!!
The entire rat party is an embarrassment. His leaving the
party would make it even more so. The man has folded so
many times, there are permanent creases in strategic places on his body. Not enough fingers to count the number.
Not to be trusted, remember, exactly like all other democrats.
Jumpin’ Joe Manchin. No change at all. The Dems will still retain power.
I’m sure that Nanzi has told ALL House Dems that they will get NO MONEY FOR RE-ELECTION if they don’t vote the way she wants. Schumer is just Nanzi in a suit.
Good point!
He’s not going to go independent.
And don underestimate the chances at the nomination
Biden only for it because he pretended he was a “moderate”.
why would one want to RECONCILE with evil??
Does is actually matter when someone changes parties like that? What is the loss to the D party?
Won’t work, he switches Bernie will convert to a Dem.
As is at least one of the R's . . . you all know who I am taking about.
His party is the embarrassment and he should be ashamed of it.
Ummm, may I remind you this is the same state that elected and kept re-electing the Klan Klown and cankle’s ‘mentor’, robert c. byrd. Nearly every public building in the state is named for that scumbag. Yes, I actually resided there for nearly 2 miserable years. There is a hamlet just outside Clarksburg WV (where byrd got the FIBs to move to as another of his many pork barrel projects) called Arlington-where raw sewage still runs in the ditches next to the streets. He ignored multiple attempts to help correct the problem for YEARS!
I hope things are changing but my hopes have been dashed before
