He knows he would still be primaried by a Republican in 2024 and lose though.Better to go out fighting and letting future Manchins know this will not be tolerated than doing nothing imo.And The DOJ would have a strong federal case against his daughter from what Ive read.Even if they lose make her go through it.None of that helps in 2022 and it pretty much ensures he will join Republicans. Its a nice gesture but changes nothing practically.
