Manchin Suggested He Could Defect to GOP
Another nugget from This Will Not Pass, via CNN: Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) told Sen. John Thune (R-SD) early last year that he’d switch parties if Thune were the Republican leader instead of Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Manchin Suggested He Could Defect to GOP

Another nugget from [new book] This Will Not Pass, via CNN: Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) told Sen. John Thune (R-SD) early last year that he’d switch parties if Thune were the Republican leader instead of Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
The Democrats have a tiny 51-50 majority in the Senate Seat, with VP Harris as the TIEBREAKER when necessary. If Manchin switched sides to GOP, this would spell DOOM for the Democrats in the Senate - and would usher in an era of GOP rule. What are your thoughts on Manchin DEFECTING to become a GOPer?
