Playbook: “The big talker in politics today takes place in New Hampshire, where centrist group No Labels is holding a bipartisan event teasing a possible 2024 “unity” ticket — and Democrats are already freaking out that such a bid will undercut President Joe Biden and help land Donald Trump back in the White House.”
“Adding to the intrigue, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) — who loves nothing more than trolling his own party — will be attending the event, a decision that has raised eyebrows among his fellow Democrats, who worry that the Mountaineer could not only spoil Biden’s reelection effort, but also cost them a Senate seat should he choose not to seek another term.”
Said Sen. Dick Durbin to The Hill: “Joe is America’s biggest political tease. And I trust that he’ll make a judgment to run for reelection in West Virginia. I hope he will.”
