Last month Manchin further stirred Democratic concerns with an appearance in the early-voting state of New Hampshire with the “No Labels” group, where he mulled starting a third-party presidential campaign in 2024, challenging Democratic President Joe Biden. Having a third-party candidate would “threaten” the two major political parties, Manchin said.

He thinks WAY too highly of himself. He might complicate the Republican vote, but he wouldn’t threaten Biden.

He's much more likely to pull from republican voters than democratic. So he should go ahead and try. All of these conservatives who don't like Trump wanting to run as third party candidates, thinking they'll get support from the Democratic voters... Kind of makes me laugh.

I think you underestimate the number of conservative Dems or “centrists” who would take the opportunity to not vote for Democrats.

“Moderate” Republicans are the exact opposite of that. They will hold their nose and toe the line. Do you know how many times I heard “I don’t like him but…” back in 2016? Literally any excuse to vote R and they will justify it.
