Senator Joe Manchin, the prominent Democrat from West Virginia, has revealed that he is 'seriously' contemplating a switch to independent status. This comes amid growing concerns about the image of the Democratic Party in Washington and has the potential to reshape the balance of power in the Senate.

If he continues to caucus with the Democrats, then what difference does it make?
None.
What he really wants to do is shed the label of "democrat". He's going to get hammered by Jim Justice next year as WV is deep red and apt to stay that way. If he runs as a McCain-esque maverick independent he figures he doesn't have to get tarred with the AOC and Brandon brushes.
But it's too late for that. He sold his state out for the proverbial 30 pieces of silver (<--- see what I did there?) and now he gets to answer for it.

I prefer he stay Dem.
I like having a semblance of control over Liberals even when they win elections.
Before we worry ab out Manchin - I'm worried that just like the Leftists have Trans-Taliban that gives US elections.....our Taliban is hell bent on doing the same.
RED KANSAS
RED OHIO (Red, only because the "Free Trading is my principles! My Convictions!" Conservatives were taught by Trump to shut up.
The abortion bans have gone too far NOT according to Patricia Ireland, but to Red voters in Two Red States now.
Does that mean we go Left and celebrate the ending of beating hearts? No, we go back to how it used to be under Bush.
The ONLY reason we lost in 2022 had zilch to do with trump. It was the Roe SCOTUS...getting Democrats to come vote in a year they historically wouldn't have come out.
The gains we made are slowly gonna get pissed away over this issue.
I prefer the time when when THEY were the extremists, not us. If we didn't have this problem we'd have won in 2022,,,,and we'd coast to winning 2024 and WE would handle Clarence Thomas's replacement and our country would have a SCOTUS protecting it from Liberal Taliban for a good 15 years or more.
