WV has a Democrat governor, who would appoint a Democrat replacement for Manchin.

Manchin would simply switch to the GOP. This is not unusual. Senator Shelby from Alabama did it long ago; Jeffords switched to the Democrats. Manchin switching to the GOP would assure he’d be senator for as long as he wanted to.

Manchin is one of the few congressional democrats that is not insane. He will probably switch to the Republican Party. There is no place for him in the democrat party.

Not if Manchin switches parties and stays a Senator, which is what the article is saying.

I think the author is suggesting that Manchin might change parties to obtain some relevancy and more approval in his state.

Sorry, he couldn’t do that. Because they are talking about him switching parties, not taking some other position.

No, the article just talked about Manchin switching parties, not joining the Trump admin.

No! Manchin isn’t leaving. He may change parties.
