Punchbowl News: “Manchin’s exit from the Senate will accelerate the continued erosion of the chamber’s middle. Already, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) has announced he won’t run for reelection, and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) is a distant third in her state’s contest, according to recent polls.”

“Consider the trend here: Over the last few cycles, the Senate GOP Conference has lost Sens. Rob Portman (R-OH), Roy Blunt (R-MO), Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Bob Corker (R-TN).”
