Manchin-Romney 2024?
Manchin, who has been criticized for his more conservative votes despite his party affiliation, made his comments on Thursday about the Republican senator from Utah being at the top of his list of running mates.
“In theory, if I were to choose my running mate, the person I would ask now is Mitt Romney,” NBC News reported.
“Manchin also said he would consider former Sen. Rob Portman, a Republican from Ohio, as his running mate,” NBC News noted.
“Rob is a dear friend of mine,” Manchin said. “What a good man.”
Both men are known as “Never Trump” Republicans from the party's most entrenched old guard.
The story continued:
“Everything is on the table,” Manchin said in response to a question from NBC News. “Nothing is off the table. I'm still evaluating it all. Super Tuesday.” [March 5] It will largely be a deadline that tells you where you stand.
Without being on the ballot in every state, Super Tuesday is Manchin's best bet for getting enough delegates to make their demands.

Manchin says Biden is 'far to the left'
Manchin recently described President Joe Biden as “so far left”, especially on issues such as America's southern border.
“First of all, if you want to blame Joe Biden, he is absolutely guilty of opening the border and making it what it is today,” Manchin said in a speech. “And I told him that I had been disagreeing with him since day one.”
As he continues to talk about it, there's no telling how serious Joe Manchin is about running in 2024.
Or if Mitt Romney will be his partner.
