Beau says:
Senator Manchin considered a spoiler for Biden, but with his decision not to run in 2024, the focus shifts to other potential candidates for Biden's competition against Trump.

Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Beau again.
So today we're going to talk about Manchin and Romney in 2024
and how things are going to play out
because there have been some developments
and they have obviously been overshadowed
by everything else that has been going on.
Okay, so let's start with this.
Senator Manchin was somebody who was viewed
as a potential spoiler for Biden,
somebody who might run third-party and draw centrist votes away from Biden that
Biden would desperately need to win.
And Manchin did nothing for a long time to kind of put those fears at ease.
He kind of leaned into it a whole lot, and he floated the idea of running with Mitt Romney.
Romney, another well-known centrist for the most part, and Romney was basically like,
yeah, I'm not interested. Thanks but no thanks. Not running for president, not running for vice
president not interested at all. It was kind of what occurred last week and from
there there were a lot of questions about what Manchin was going to do
because Manchin was the one who floated it about Romney. Manchin has now decided
will not run in 2024. That is the statement. So, what does that mean? Not much. Not much changes.
There was a risk of Manchin running and being a spoiler. I don't know that it would have been
enough to alter the outcome. It would have been hard to gauge, though, because Manchin
is one of those people who, he is just wildly unpopular across the board, but there are
pockets of support that aren't vocal. And it's hard to tell where those pockets are.
If some of them existed in a state that Biden needed, a swing state, that could have been
a problem.
But it doesn't look like that's a concern now.
Doesn't look like that's something that's going to come up.
There still might be other third party candidates that pop up.
But at this point, the real question for Biden is who is he going to run against?
I know everybody is saying it's going to be Trump, but there are still a lot of questions
about that.
So we'll wait and see.
Anyway, it's just a thought y'all have a good day
