pb's been hearing these rumblings about Manchin for a while now.
Here is pb's take. Polls make it obvious that Dem actual voters don't want their DC movers and shakers to shove "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap" down their throats. Hence, RFK Jr already pulling down about 20% among Dem Primary voters. Manchin is POed over what his fellow Dems did to his Inflation Reduction Act and he may simply want to screw the Flatulent Fool and the Dem Swamp.
The foisting of Clouseau on America may not be as easy as the woke suppose.
Manchin notes he has had a 12-year relationship with No Labels, the centrist political group that is trying to gain access to the ballot in all 50 states to open a path for a third-party candidate to run for president.

Asked about talk that he could run nationwide on the No Labels ticket, Manchin said “people are starving, starving to work together.”
He said voters are sick of “this constant, daily routine of everyone’s against everybody and everybody’s fighting and arguing.”
“Let’s be for the country and get something done,” he said.
An NBC poll published last week found that 70 percent of Americans don’t want Biden to run for a second term, and 60 percent don’t want former President Trump to run for president.
Manchin’s reaction to those numbers is that “people are looking for something,” implying that’s something other than a rematch of the 2020 election.
... he slammed Biden for a “deficiency of leadership” in addressing the federal debt and applauded Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for unveiling a proposal to raise the debt limit and cut spending.
