Democrats Are Warning Sen. Joe Manchin About Running For President.
As if that means anything.
As has been widely reported at this point, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin has decided he is not going to seek reelection to the Senate. But of course, even before this decision was announced Manchin has also been very public in his consideration of running for President. It should come as no surprise, though. Manchin has relished in his ability to give his middle finger to the base, and frankly show the entire country just how little he thinks of him. While he might be many things he’s certainly not unintelligent, and Manchin knows exactly what he’s doing.
Of course, Democrats are now reportedly warning him about a potential run for the Presidency.
Alexander Bolton with The Hill writes:
“Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) flirtation with a third-party presidential bid after announcing his upcoming retirement from the Senate is sparking anxiety among Democratic senators who warn that Manchin would make a big mistake if he challenges President Biden.
Democratic lawmakers say that if Manchin runs for president as an independent, it will hurt Biden’s reelection chances and could result in what they view as the nightmare scenario of electing Donald Trump to a second White House term.
