Several prominent business executives hope Sen. Joe Manchin will defect to the Republican party and mount a presidential campaign against President Joe Biden, according to a report on Monday.Wall Street veteran Nelson Peltz hosted a $5,000 a plate fundraiser for Sen. Joe Manchin at the billionaire’s sprawling Florida estate last month, where several top executives said they privately hoped the conservative Democrat would switch parties and run against President Joe Biden in the 2024 elections.
Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell previously called on Manchin to switch over to the Republican Party, telling Fox News last year, “He would be a lot more comfortable on our side.”“I would like to hope that there are still Democrats that feel like I do. … I’m socially — I’m fiscally responsible and socially compassionate,” he recently told West Virginia Radio, according toManchin has become a thorn in the White House’s side due to his opposition to the president’s Build Back Better Act.
In addition to the Build Back Better Act, Manchin has also taken aim at the White House for its failure to contain soaring inflation. Last week, ManchinThe senator said in a statement: Let me be clear, inflation is a tax and today’s historic inflation data tells another chilling story about how these taxes on Americans are completely out of control. Hard earned wages and financial savings are disappearing faster every month as prices continue to climb, while the pain and frustration of spending more on everyday items lingers over us all, especially among those who can afford it the least.
He went on to say, “When will this end? It is a disservice to the American people to act as if inflation is a new phenomenon. The Federal Reserve and the Administration failed to act fast enough, and today’s data is a snapshot in time of the consequences being felt across the country. Instead of acting boldly, our elected leaders and the Federal Reserve continue to respond with half-measures and rhetorical failures searching for where to lay the blame.
