“If Joe Manchin runs on the No Labels ticket, he would be responsible for sending Donald Trump back to the White House. Every independent analyst reaches the same conclusion: a No Labels ticket has no chance of winning a single electoral college vote in any state. Instead, their campaign would only ensure Trump’s re-election.” - MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting
"Joe, Gayle, and the entire Manchin family should feel proud of the Senator’s service to West Virginia and to our country.

Statement from President Joe Biden on Senator Joe Manchin | The White House

So, that is the reactionary grifter plan.

Good to know.

@w7voa I seriously doubt this. If anything, he'll split the R vote. There are a lot of Republicans who can't stand trump, but would vote for someone more moderate. There isn't a single Dem I can think of that would vote for that turd.
@w7voa
Nobody but WV hillbillies know who he is...Not a problem..
@w7voa That's why he's going to do it.
@w7voa Manchin is as
anti-democracy, pro-pollution, money grubbing devil as any republican. Maybe worse.

@w7voa We need more of good news like this!

Trump dead or in prison would be nice.

@w7voa So Fetterman IS getting his parking space.
am I the only person getting malicious scripts on the linked website page?
@w7voa
manchin running makes trump's loss even more likely. No dem will vote for manchin, he's hated. Many republicans would love an option to trump. Especially after the guilty verdicts pile up. The dems have already shown they know how to work a campaign to hurt their opponent. See mastriano. They just need work on running campaigns to elect their own candidates.
