Manchin apparently wants to run for governor of WVA. I doubt he wants to face the voters in a state that voted 70% for Trump if he OKs trashing the integrity of US elections, ruining the fossil fuel industry, driving gas prices to historic highs (No, Investor Granholm, most of us don’t own electric powered vehicles), abolishing zoning laws, and the rest of the Imposter’s program.
“Manchin apparently wants to run for governor of WVA.”
Joe Manchin was WVA governor for two consecutive terms starting in 2005. He is ineligible to hold that post again.
Furthermore at age 73 he has a sweet deal going in the Senate. He can stay in the Senate until he’s hauled out feet first.
I wonder if Manchin is under subtle GOP pressure to do a jumpin’ Jim Jeffords act in reverse: leave the rat party, become an independent and caucus with the GOP.
Of course, he’d last as long as Scalia did at remote western ranch. Unfortunate accidents happen to senior citizens.
