Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia announced Friday he has switched his registration to independent, raising questions about his political plans since the move could help his chances should he seek elected office again in a state that has turned heavily Republican.
Manchin, 76, has often been at odds with the Democratic Party and an obstacle to many of President Joe Biden’s legislative priorities. But he played a central role in helping Biden get a landmark climate change and health care bill over the finish line in 2022.
I figured, I remember the kayakers talking to him about it. Looked pretty nice to me. Hey Manchin, just because you live on it sometimes, doesn’t make it a houseboat. Also, houseboats cost around 1 million around here, soooo not really making your case there.
