How manganous acetate reacts with nitric acid?

Probably nothing happens.

I think that manganese acetate is a basic substance, when that solution meets a strong acid like nitric acid, there will be an exchange reaction that creates a salt that neutralizes manganese nitrate and bubbles with CO₂.

No, it's acetate not carbonate.

Manganous acetate (Mn(CH₃COO)₂) reacts with nitric acid (HNO₃) to produce manganese nitrate (Mn(NO₃)₂), acetic acid (CH₃COOH), water (H₂O), and nitrogen dioxide gas (NO₂). The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows:
Mn(CH₃COO)₂ + 4HNO₃ → Mn(NO₃)₂ + 2CH₃COOH + 2H₂O + 2NO₂

Your equation is not balanced.
Left side 10 H, right side 12
I dont see a redox reaction. If NO₂ is developed ( it's a reduction from NO₃- to NO₂) something else has to be oxidised. Where is it in your equation.

The chemical equation for the reaction between manganous acetate (Mn(C₂H₃O₂)₂) and nitric acid (HNO₃) can be balanced as follows:

Mn(C₂H₃O₂)₂ + 4HNO₃ -> Mn(NO₃)₂ + 2CH₃COOH + 2H₂O

Balanced equation:
Mn(C₂H₃O₂)₂ + 4HNO₃ -> Mn(NO₃)₂ + 2CH₃COOH + 2H₂O

In this balanced equation, the number of atoms of each element on both the reactant and product sides is equal. Please note that this is a simplified representation of the reaction, and in a real chemical reaction, various factors, including concentrations and reaction conditions, can affect the actual outcome.

Also not balanced. To much NO₃-.
A mixture of manganese acetate and HNO₃ gives only Mn 2+, NO₃-, CH₃COO- and H+ ions.
