Joe Manchin not running for re-election but will travel the country
With Trump's numbers low, Democrats have renewed hope for 2018: they could keep the Senate close and maybe win back the House. But to get there, they will need to forge a broad path. That means truly understanding the states and districts that will decide the fate of Congress. On July 19, 2017, Third Way hosted a breakfast discussion with some of the Members of Congress who understand this best: Senator Joe Manchin (WV) and Representatives Emanuel Cleaver (MO-5) and Suzan DelBene (WA-1).

Manchin is reportedly ranked as one of the most vulnerable Senators. He’s also ranked as “one of the most unpopular.”
Manchin has been the subject of much speculation, with some suggesting he may become the third-party presidential nominee for what has been called a right-wing dark money group, No Labels.
Others have speculated he would be unable to beat his GOP challenger, West Virginia governor Jim Justice.
