West Virginia nominated a leftist for Senate in 2020. She got 27% of the vote. What are the chances the Democrats wins this open seat race in 2024? Manchin is the reason Democrats hold the majority and Biden gets any judges confirmed.

Is Joe Manchin not what most would call an independent? He can the caucus with whoever he wants. If Bernie Sanders (Vermont, independent) didn't caucus with dems Joe Biden would also be SOL.

Manchin has always run as a Democrat. He has never been an Independent. The caucus is mostly about leadership; I cannot see Sanders choosing McConnell over Schumer or giving up his committee spots to go it alone for … what.
