https://www.breitbart.com/2024...-running-reelection/ Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said in a statement Thursday that he is not running for reelection and will instead travel the country to see if there is a movement to mobilize moderates. “After months of deliberation and long conservation with my family, I believe in my heart of hearts that I have accomplished what I have set out to do for West Virginia,” Manchin said in a video statement. “I have made one of the toughest decisions of my life and decided that I will not be running for reelection.” “But what I will be doing is traveling the country and speaking out, seeing if there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring Americans together,” Manchin said. Manchin has reportedly been “seriously” becoming an independent and said the Democrat brand has “become so bad.” The West Virginia senator has also yet to decide if he would run for president as a third-party candidate under the “No Labels” affiliation. No Labels is a bipartisan centrist group that plans to raise $70 million to back an independent candidate for the 2024 presidential election. No Labels has gained access to the ballot in Arizona, Colorado, Alaska, and Oregon. Democrat strategist David Axelrod said Manchin may run for president to serve as a “graceful exit” from Congress’s upper chamber, where he could face defeat in a state that has West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R), a potential challenger, leading him by 22 percent. | ||

I believe the current Governor Jim Justice (R) is running. "Blessed is he who when facing his own demise, thinks only of his front sight.” Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem Montani Semper Liberi | |||

And I hope he is kept awake at night until he dies that if only he hadn’t sign on to that Inflation Reduction Act (IIRC) and then got double crossed by Biden, he’d be on easy street for reelection for the next 42 years. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Dems would be well-served if they put him on the ticket next year over Uncle Joe. | |||
|
| Wait, what? |
The dems would be better served putting a chimp on the ticket; Biden is a dead end for them at this point and they know it. The Biden crime syndicate has been exposed and spells the end for him. Let’s hope he fights to stay in it like the fool he is. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Ain't going to happen. You would have a better chance of seeing Oprah running for POTUS, and that will not happen either.

I fervently hope that Manchin will fade from the public arena soon enough allowing the weasel community to regain the dignity the of the weasel name……… Bill Gullette | |||

Manchin is no spring chicken and his chances of being elected to a higher office are dim. He has plenty of money, could retire and live like a King in one of the poorest states in the country. Working as a lobbyist for the oil and gas industry would be my guess. | |||
