Failed GOP Senate primary candidate Don Blankenship has Republicans worried his plan to run a third-party bid could be a spoiler in November's high-stakes Senate race, The Hill reported. National Republicans believe incumbent Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is vulnerable in the deep-red state, but Blankenship's promised revenge run could upset the apple cart. But experts do not see an easy path ahead for the former coal CEO who spent about a year in jail for conspiring to violate mine safety standards after 29 miners were killed in an explosion at a mine his company operate. "He would have a tremendously uphill fight to get on the ballot given the state's laws," an unnamed GOP strategist told The Hill. There is a question he can even run. Steven Allen Adams, a spokesman for West Virginia's GOP Secretary of State Mac Warner, said Blankenship is barred from running as a third-party candidate. "West Virginia does have a sore losers, sour grapes law," he told The Hill. "We feel the … [Read more...] about The Hill: Blankenship’s ‘Sour Grapes’ Bid Under Debate

"I've always thought there was more we can do. It's the greatest body in the world, so much good could be done." Manchin, a centrist Democratic senator from what has become a red state of West Virgina – President Donald Trump won the state by 42 points in 2016 – is now "looking at all the different plays" for a Senate exit, including a run for governor. "I have people back home that want me to come back and run for governor," Manchin, 71, told The Hill. "We're looking at all the different plays. I want to make sure whatever time I have left in public service is productive." Manchin's departure would put one of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's, D-N.Y., seats at risk to go to a President Trump Republican in 2020. Manchin served as West Virginia's governor from … [Read more...] about The Hill: Sick of Senate Inaction, Manchin Seeks an Out
