Manchin weighs options after Biden exits presidential race

Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) is considering re-registering as a Democrat in order to compete for Democratic presidential nomination.

The Washington Post
@Nonilex Yes, but on the upside, it looks like the Democratic Party is lining up quick behind #Harris2024 with little fuss. Even if he did re-register, I don't think he'd get enough delegates to get introduced as an option.

@Nonilex

I cannot think that the #Democrats would pull #Manchin in as a #VPnom

He's already left the #Democratic party to become #Independent

He's burned too many bridges

I mean, the Democrats are dumb, but they're not really politically stupid

That said, it would probably improve the revenue stream from his #Kleptocrat donor list, and Manchin has been ever the opportunist if anything

@Nonilex Heโ€™s 76! So he thinks heโ€™s the answer?!

He wonโ€™t get 1% of the vote. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@Nonilex Lol! โ€œWeighing his optionsโ€ to lead a party he quit? Keep weighing, Senator.
@Nonilex its been obvious to me for years Manchin is a Republican agent. wolf in the hen house. intended to sabotage Dems at key moments
@Nonilex
He would get dozens of votes at the convention. Well, maybe not dozens....
@Nonilex I hope the party tells him to go fuck himself. He's already shown where his loyalties lie, and it's with the party running the shitgibbon.
@zakalwe @Nonilex if he really thinks being a fair weather democrat, in the party and out again depending how the wind blows, is going to endear him enough to get nominated, than he truly needs a neurologist to take a look at him because that is beyond magical thinking to full on delulu.
@Nonilex #Manchin is in the bag for the #fossilfuel industry. He left the Dems after sowing division. We don't need him and certainly don't want him. #Harris for the win!
@Nonilex
Unfair to actual douche bags but spot on.
@Nonilex Manchin can go eat a bag of dicks
@Nonilex iโ€™m not a Democrat, but...๏ฟผ
donโ€™t you have to be a member of a party before you can run as its leader? I donโ€™t get it. The guy quit, what was he thinking? Backsies?
