Manchin is a Democrat. Most of his cult has broken off into splinter groups - marxists, Dominioncrats, cucks, race hustlers, chicks with dicks, sissies, knuckledraggers, dyke stormtroopers, congenital liars and generally defective subhuman freaks - the only thing they all have in common is their hatred for America and a proclivity for corruption.
Manchin doesn't really belong in that group of substandard fuckups. He'll probably switch parties eventually. Sinema too.
