Manchin will do what is best for Manchin.
He comes up for re-election in 2024.
After he got screwed by Democrats on the pipeline in WV for his vote, who knows what he will do. But at the end of the day, you can be sure the only thing that will motivate him is what will best serve him, not the country.
Schumer must be fuming.
With the Rat nomination somewhat “muddled” due to Xiden’s mental health & Cameltoe’s incompetence\general unlikability. Manchin will continue to play the “angles” to raise his profile for a possible play for the nomination or at least a VP slot. I don’t think he’s his 2024 re-election (He’s 75!) is as high a priority with him right now.
