Well, howdy there, internet people, let's bow again.

So today we are going to talk about mansion in West Virginia and a change to his party affiliation.

So, party affiliation. So Senator Manchin has decided to no longer be a Democrat and there's a whole bunch of people right now going he

never was. I mean I understand what you're saying he was definitely one of the more right-wing Democrats if not the most right-wing Democrat but he was

part of the Democratic Party that's no longer the case. He is an independent. This has led

to a whole bunch of speculation as to why he is doing this. Is he leaving and

going to the Republican Party? he you know a whole bunch of

different things that's probably not it if he was going to do that he would have

changed it to you know Republican I mean it's a possibility but it seems very slim. Another piece of

speculation is that he is going to try to run for Senate as an independent. Maybe. I mean that's there has there's been a

discussion about that before I think it was Schumer approached him about that.

Or there were reports about it anyway.

And then there's the other option.

Governor in West Virginia. Personally, I think that's more likely. I don't have any inside

information on this one, but that's if I had to guess that's what it is.

Running for governor as a Democrat in West Virginia, well that D would probably make it very, very hard to run run so changing it to an eye might

make it a little bit more a little bit more tenable because there are a lot of

Republicans who are unhappy with their current options.

So it gives him a chance to pick up some votes that way. Now do we know any of this? No, none of that is actually known. It's all

speculation. We will know relatively soon though because in order for him to continue the way things are being speculated about.

For him to use any of those options,

well he has to start getting signatures pretty soon.
