Likely R.
Should Democrats even help Manchin after all the crap he let them go through the past few years?
I hate to say it, but cut him loose. Not because he's betrayed us so many times, but because he has no chance and would only take money away from more winnable races.
I want him to run simply to divert GOP resources from other competitive senate races.
I won't be crying when he loses.

Manchin could serve the role Tim Ryan did in Ohio this year. It would be his last -and greatest- service he could render to the Democratic Party in 2024, and could be instrumental in enabling us to perhaps even keep the Senate that year. By all means, we should help him, if for no other reason than to keep the National Republican Senatorial Committee spending valuable resources on a Senate race in a safe Republican state in Appalachia of all places.
