<p>Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-manchin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Manchin</a> (D-WV) says he has no plans to leave the Democratic Party, but he isn&#8217;t ruling out the possibility either.</p>
<p>A journalist <a href="https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1602373361060954114" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked the senator</a> on Monday if he might become an independent like Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, a move that could complicate the grip Democrats have on the upper chamber next term.</p>
<p>“I’ll look at all of these things. I’ve always looked all these things but I have no intention of doing anything right now,” Manchin told reporters, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3772253-manchin-says-he-has-no-intention-of-leaving-democratic-party/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to The Hill</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Whether I do something later, I can’t tell you what the future’s going to bring. I can only tell you where I am and my mindset&#8221; now, he added.</p>
<p>Sinema <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/key-senator-leaves-democratic-party-rejecting-beltway-partisanship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed on Friday</a> that she was changing her party affiliation. She made the announcement after Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-democrat-raphael-warnock-defeats-gop-challenger-herschel-walker-in-georgia-runoff-projection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won his special election</a>, giving the Democrats and the independents who caucus with them a slim 51-member majority in the Senate.</p>
<p>“I have joined the growing numbers of Arizonans who reject party politics by declaring my independence from the broken partisan system in Washington,” she wrote in a guest column for <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/2022/12/09/sen-kyrsten-sinema-of-arizona-why-im-registering-as-an-independent/69712395007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Arizona Republic</a>.</p>
<p>Both Manchin and Sinema are up for reelection in 2024. The pair often garner headlines when breaking with the majority of Democratic and independent senators on significant issues, but they <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-congress-votes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">generally vote in line</a> with President Joe Biden, a tally from FiveThirtyEight shows.</p>
<p>Manchin voiced support for Sinema, saying he wants to continue working with her. &#8220;I tremendously respect her decision and wish her the best,&#8221; he also said of Sinema.</p>
<p>Last year, after denying he was leaving the Democratic Party, Manchin <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/10/21/1048121435/manchin-says-he-offered-to-change-political-parties-if-he-was-a-problem-for-dems" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said he would become</a> an independent, but still caucus with the Democrats if he turned into an &#8220;embarrassment&#8221; to his Democratic colleagues.</p>
