Manchin risks getting 'exposed' in effort to topple unpopular Biden and Trump

Democratic strategists believe Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) runs the risk of getting "exposed" to intense mudslinging and deep investigations into his personal and financial life from both Democrats and Republicans if he decides to run as a third-party candidate in 2024.

Steve Jarding, a strategist who has worked for various Democratic senators interested in presidential runs, said in an interview with the Hill that he believes Manchin could draw some votes away from former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden in the general election, but that may be at the senator's own peril.

"He comes from a small state. He’ll get exposed,” he said, explaining that the West Virginia Democrat would be subjected to intense negative advertising and numerous investigations into his business dealings if Trump and Biden see him making headway with voters.

“When either Trump or Biden see he’s hurting them more than the other side, they’ll take him down; they’ll go after him,” Jarding said.

Manchin has not announced a campaign for president. Instead, he announced on Nov. 9 that he would not seek reelection to the Senate, promising to "fight to unite the middle."

Democratic strategist Jonathan Kott, former adviser to Manchin, said the senator's possible run for the White House should be taken seriously.

“I always take Joe Manchin at his word. I think the first thing he’s going to do is go around the country, see if he can mobilize what he thinks is a moderate majority of voters, people who want their government to get stuff done and not the people who focus on the fighting of the extremes of each party,” Kott told the Hill.

He's never held a real job in his entire life, yet he's a multimillionaire. Yeah, I suspect there's some exposing to be done.

His pic is listen in Webster's dictionary under "Pandering POS"

If Manchin runs he'll just split the 3rd party vote and peel off voters from RFK Jr., so the third party option will be less effective.

Manchin will have to answer for the conflict of interest when his daughter was CEO of Mylan and increased the cost of EpiPens 800% ... though there was nothing to warrant that, other than monopoly power, greed, and the Wall Street Bankster calculation that people will pay any price for medication that keeps them alive.

 

A "modest" 800% price increase for EpiPens is nothing compared to the value of surviving anaphylaxis.

After that, Joe's alky wife Gayle was put on some sort of statewide school board - which promptly required school districts to purchase (at inflated prices, at taxpayer expense) Heather Manchin Bresch's EpiPens.

Probably

[LMAO]

I can’t see his Senate seat going Democrat. He won’t be president and he must know this. So what’s his game here besides drawing votes from both Biden and Trump?
