Hmmm: Joe Manchin Considering Senate Exit to Run for Governor?
Joe Manchin, the most moderate Democrat in the US Senate, may be
plotting his exit strategy from Chuck Schumer's caucus. With his party
drifting farther leftward by the day, and with gridlock gripping the
legislative process, the West Virginian is said to be plotting his exit
strategy from Congress' upper chamber. He is less than one year removed
from pretty narrowly securing another six-year term in 2018, but Manchin is reportedly looking into
moving back home and seeking to regain his former job of governor. If
true, depending on the timing, that could be very welcome news to Sen.
Mitch McConnell and the Senate GOP:Sen. Joe Manchin considering leaving before end of this Congress, says supporters at home want him to run for governor again. From @alexanderbolton - https://t.co/hhL9ESldJR— Reid Wilson (@PoliticsReid) June 13, 2019
