Didn’t he just say that he would have Willard on his ticket?

Like he had a snowball’s chance in hell of being elected president.

as part of a national listening tour he was making

He likely heard: We don't want you.

Probably leveraged the the threat of a run into a multi-million dollar payoff.

The establishment has a Plan A and Plan B in place. Joe doesn’t aid either plan, so he is out.

Joe has always talked big and pretended to be a “Moderate”.
He is no moderate and saw the writing on the wall in WV.
Which is why he bailed on running for re-election.

Go away Joe. And don’t come back no more, no more . . .

Joe was West Virginia’s gift of gonorrhea to the nation. . . You can thank us later.

He did indeed. The anonymous phone call made him aware of the recent “accident” that inflicted McConnell’s sister in law, Angela Chao. Everyone is now on notice.

"I’d like to announce that I’m also not running"

No listening tour? No exploratory committee? LOL

I’m in Morgantown and I can’t find any announcements that he was here. It seems as well publicized and attended as a Biden rally.
