How Manchin Survives as a Democrat In West Virginia

Nate Cohn: “It is far too soon to evaluate Mr. Manchin’s chances in 2024, but early indications are not promising. Mr. Manchin voted to convict Mr. Trump at his impeachment trial in February, and he has been front and center in major legislative debates over enacting President Biden’s agenda.”

“According to the Cooperative Election Study, a prominent academic survey, Mr. Manchin had just a 33% approval rating in October 2020, while 51% disapprove of his performance.”

“Mr. Manchin’s departure, whether in 2024 or thereafter, will mark the end of an era. There will be no Senate Democrat whose electoral history and coalition are so completely at odds with the new activist base of the party. Progressives will be free from the burden of trying to lure a senator with such a conservative voting base.”
