Manchin risks getting 'exposed' in effort to topple unpopular Biden and Trump

Democratic strategists believe Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) runs the risk of getting "exposed" to intense mudslinging and deep investigations into his personal and financial life from both Democrats and Republicans if he decides to run as a third-party candidate in 2024.

Steve Jarding, a strategist who has worked for various Democratic senators interested in presidential runs, said in an interview with the Hill that he believes Manchin could draw some votes away from former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden in the general election, but that may be at the senator's own peril.
