Now that Biden has dropped out, people are coming out of the woodwork to take his place. Even though it seems the Democrats have already chosen Kamala, Joe Manchin says 'not so fast'.
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, an independent, is considering re-registering for the Democratic Party to run for the presidential nomination, @CostaReports reports. This comes as some Democrats say they're nervous about VP Harris' ability to beat Donald Trump.

This is getting juicy.
Sources close to Sen Joe Manchin, independent of WV, say he's considering re-registering as a Democrat and throwing his hat into the ring

Manchin would have to re-register as a Democrat and then could jump back in the race.
Can you believe the nerve of this guy? https://t.co/ZfwDtI36Mw

It's so good!
I hope Kamala has challengers because this will all be hysterical to watch. https://t.co/euDQrFDbQk

It's America's summer entertainment.
He’s gonna be 77 and much of the party hates him so makes perfect sense! https://t.co/Hw10LF2qZG

At 77, he's a veritable toddler in this race.

Interesting, but I can't imagine there's any way the cadres will allow anyone who's not a hardcore progressive to get anywhere near the top of the ticket. https://t.co/4pC1LSWuqw

No one just falls down the coconut tree, after all.
LOL, one last gigantic grift on his way out is so fitting for Manchin. https://t.co/QsXwuxajo0

This is the most Joe Manchin thing to do ever. Not actually re-registering and trying but trying to make the next few weeks all about him. https://t.co/HTEC4JECdU

Baby, it ain't 'Jover til it's Jover'.
He’d never be able to win the old fashioned way—with Dem voters actually having a say through a primary—so why not! https://t.co/kdL24iVe3f

Honestly if you’re an ambitious Dem you do this, things can switch on the drop of the dime. Bernie should go do it too.

That being said, Manchin stands no chance. https://t.co/nGhWfneXtj
Bernie and Joe can run together and be the 'Grumpy Old Men' ticket.

Please, spare us. No one likes either Manchin or for that matter Tapper. https://t.co/EOX7ORVGh5

Ouch!
Chaos. Just what the American people ordered.

If this is an open contest, the Democrats will be out of power for the next eight years. https://t.co/fOCs68McG1
It is going to be a crazy election season.
