As Sen_JoeManchin mulls a reelection bid, he has kept members of his party on their toes as he openly flirts with a presidential bid, refusing to close any doors as he considers his next move.
Democrats have 23 Senate seats up for grabs in the 2024 cycle, setting the stage for a contentious election that could cost the party its one-seat majority. The stakes have put Manchin in an advantageous position as Democrats seek to keep the centrist Democrat happy as well as quash any plans for a White House run.“I have advised him against it. I think it would be a terrible idea,” Sen. John Hickenlooper told Politico. “It would help Donald Trump.
The group maintains it has not chosen a prospective nominee, telling the Washington Examiner earlier this month it would not make such a decision until its nominating convention next year. But No Labels CEO Nancy Jacobson did not rule out Manchin as the group’s top pick, telling Fox News it’s “too premature” to say.
Meanwhile, several Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans have denounced No Labels, arguing a third-party ticket would cost Biden the White House and pave the way for another Trump term. Some have even argued that a Manchin ticket would not only cost Democrats the White House but the Senate as well, noting the centrist senator is likely the party’s only chance to keep West Virginia’s seat blue.
