"If Joe Manchin runs, he will win," says chair of Senate Democratic campaign arm
CBSN
As Democrats face a difficult Senate landscape in 2024, with 23 seats up for re-election and a handful of vulnerable senators competing in battleground states, Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, the head of the Senate Democratic campaign arm, made it clear the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) will aggressively pursue the races that are tight.
He's been keeping an eye on West Virginia, where Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin has yet to announce whether he'll seek another term and has left the door ajar to a potential third-party presidential bid.
"If Joe Manchin runs, he will win," Peters told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett in an interview on CBS News' "America Decides" Wednesday.

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
