      Manchin isn’t running for his seat again because he is going to lose to the same kind of asshole he is, but with the magic ( R ) after his name.

      Democrats hate him, because every Biden policy that was blocked for the first two years of his term was Manchin’s fault.

      Manchin running as an independent isn’t gonna split the Dem vote. In fact, I’ll say the opposite: he’d split the GOP vote. Republicans who won’t vote for the convict, but also won’t hold their nose to vote for Biden, would probably find Manchin acceptable.
