West Virginia U-S Senator Joe Manchin is again ruffling feathers within his own party as he prepares to stand with a group today that’s been teasing a third-party presidential run.

The Democrat is scheduled to appear in New Hampshire this afternoon with No Labels – a moderate group that seeks to launch a “common sense” platform around issues like immigration, gun control and the economy.

Some on the left are concerned that Manchin supporting a third-party candidate, could siphon away thousands of votes from the eventual Democratic nominee – likely President Biden.

Manchin has dodged questions about his intentions in 2024. He still hasn’t declared if he intends to try and defend his Senate seat against his likely opponent, current governor Jim Justice.
