Arrogant, pissed off left wing hack journalists are now trying to spread fake news rumors that slimy, snake oil sales Joe Manchin is going to switch parties, ditching the communist Democrats and becoming a Republican. This has been rumored so many times in the past and it will not happen. Manchin is too oily not to remain a communist Democrat. His state is deep state, but so far he’s been able to fool the rubes in West Virginia for ever a decade now. He’s not switching parties and will cave to Bernie’s communist economic takeover.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Wednesday dismissed a report that he is actively thinking about dropping out of the Democratic Party as “bullshit” and “rumors.”
“It’s bullshit,” Manchin, a centrist, said bluntly after he was asked about a report published in Mother Jones that he has told “associates” he is actively thinking about leaving the Democratic Party.
“I have no control of rumors, guys. No control of rumors,” Manchin insisted after walking out of a lunch meeting with fellow Democratic committee chairmen just off the Senate floor.

Mother Jones had reported that Manchin would leave the Democratic Party if President Biden and his colleagues stick with a plan to pass a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package. The news outlet also reported that Manchin told associates he is considering a two-step plan for exiting the party.In step one, according to the report, he would send a letter to Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) informing him of his plan to drop off Schumer’s leadership team.
After waiting for a week, in step two, he reportedly would change his voter registration from Democrat to independent, which would still allow him to vote in the Democratic Party primary under West Virginia election law.
Manchin is up for reelection in 2024 and hasn’t said whether he’ll run for a fourth Senate term.
