Some GOP donors reportedly told Joe Manchin that they want him to run against Trump in '24

As Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia continued to stymie key aspects of President Joe Biden's agenda, some well-heeled GOP donors said they'd like to see him run for president as a Republican in 2024.
CNBC reported on Monday that Manchin attended a $5,000-a-plate fundraiser luncheon last month at the Florida estate of Nelson Peltz, a billionaire investor who's long been friends with the West Virginia Democrat, to support Manchin's reelection campaign.
According to an attendee who spoke with CNBC, Manchin told the group that he planned to run for reelection in West Virginia in 2024. Despite that, the attendee told the outlet several top executives at the fundraiser expressed their desire for Manchin to switch parties, which could lead to him challenging former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential primaries and running against Biden in the general election.
A spokesperson for Manchin pushed back against the CNBC report and said the senator would "continue representing West Virginians to the best of his ability."
"Senator Manchin has made it clear he is singularly focused on doing what is best for West Virginia and the country regardless of any political affiliation," Samantha Runyon, Manchin's communications director, said via email. "In this hyper partisan world we live in, this may sound like news. But for his entire career he has always been focused on doing what is right, not pleasing party elites or winning elections."

These people need to realize that Trump will get his second term and there is nothing they can do.

no real repubs or libertarians are voting Manchin over Trump. It's that D next to his name.

Manchin May do well in the general election. But he couldn’t win either primary.

I’m not completely sure this matches the headline.

Manchin would probably trounce Trump in a General Election. He would get the rinos and the dems. But there is no shot he could win the Democratic nomination, no shot at the Republican one, and no shot of winning as an Independent.

These are the same guys who put up McMuffin against Trump. Delusion is not an adequate description of their malaise.

I thought the same as well, but this Nelson guy is a GOPer. He also hosted the event for Manchin.

These people are crazy . Have a some what moderate democrat run against Trump in the republican primary is funny . Trump would destroy Manchin . Manchin better worry about keeping his senate seat in 2024. With Trump on the ballot Manchin will be in trouble.
