I have stated over the months that somehow Mancin would run. Didn’t know if he would become a Republican, try for the DEM nomination or go third party. It lools like the latter. He isn’t going to headline tonite’s affair if he weren’t running. If he does, it is the best thing to happen to America in the last few years. He isn’t likely to win but it guarantees the end of the Dem’s hold on the Presidency. Joe (Biden that is) isn’t running either, but a solid third party candidate will guarantee a GOP victory just as the past third party candidates got us Clinton and other undesirables. Let us hope the Republicans put an election monitoring team in place headed up by people who did the same in Florida where they kept Dems from stealing elections under DeSantis. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/joe-manchin-to-speak-in-new-hampshire-stirring-speculation-about-his-2024-white-house-intentions-e10d5c41?siteid=bigcharts&dist=bigcharts
