Politico: Democrat Senator Manchin Weighs Another Term As His Influence Spikes

Could West Virginia Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin be on his way out?

That’s being suggested — or at least posed as a question — in a new Politico report.

The report notes that Manchin implied back in 2018 that he would not run for re-election in 2024.

However, Manchin has become one of the most powerful politicians in Washington, D.C., now that Democrats desperately need his votes in the U.S. Senate, which is currently locked at 50-50.

Politico reported:

    Joe Manchin strongly signaled in 2018 that his brutal reelection campaign that year was his last. Now, as he marshals the entire Senate in his centrist direction, he’s not so sure he’ll call it quits.

    The West Virginia Democrat is steadily padding his campaign coffers, raising $1.6 million in the first six months this year and sitting on nearly $4 million for a potential race that wouldn’t occur for three years. His colleagues say he’s not acting like a senator in his last term, despite his famous assertion during his last campaign that Washington “sucks.”

This post may not make any sense to most on here except if you are from WV or went to WVU. As most may or may not know college football schools are doing a mass realignment of Conferences soon. WVU Football and BB are the crown jewels in WV, especially Football. The B12 where they play now will probably be going by the wayside. WVU wants to go to the ACC which it is a natural fit geographically with a lot of rivals renewed. If WVU gets offered to join the ACC,  Joe Manchin will somehow take credit for this and WILL get him reelected again in WV. If WVU does not get in Manchin will be looked at as a FAILURE and probably be voted out of office. I KNOW political future tied to COLLEGE FB but as stated in beginning it will not make much sense unless you are from WV or went to WVU. China Mitch took credit for getting Univ of Louisville in the ACC a few years back and he has since been elected at least by most Louisville fans.
