I wonder how much of the lawfare against Trump played in his leaving the DNC.

Also, Biden and Co lied to him about several spending bills, namely the Inflation Reduction Act.

@raphjd Maybe Manchin has ideas of running as a 3rd party presidential candidate?

He still caucuses with the democrats, so this won't change the balance of the House.

I doubt the President part.

I think leaving the DNC was to show his displeasure with the DNC and Biden, but not enough to stop voting with them.
