Sen. Manchin says he has “absolutely” thought about becoming an independent, one of his strongest statements yet on his flirtation with exiting the Democratic Party.
At the same time, Manchin is up for re-election in 2024 and he's kept a close eye on the Republicans seeking to flip it from blue to red in a state former President Donald Trump won by nearly 40 percentage points in 2020.
“I’m thinking seriously what’s best for me, I have to have peace of mind basically,” Manchin said in the interview Thursday about becoming an independent, “I’ve been thinking about that for quite some time." Ahead of the first anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act becoming law, Manchin on Thursday defended the partisan bill that has made him a target for Republicans.
