West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin announced on Friday that he is not pursuing a third party or independent presidential bid for the 2024 election. Manchin has frequently been mentioned as a potential No Labels nominee or independent candidate.
“I will not be seeking a third party run,” Manchin said in a speech in West Virginia this morning, according to the New York Times . “I will not be involved in a presidential run.”
Manchin’s announcement comes one day after he shared who he would consider as a running mate for a hypothetical third-party or independent presidential run at a recent speaking event. The discussion was part of Manchin’s Americans Together listening tour, a nationwide project he launched late last year to promote and mobilize moderate voices before the 2024 presidential election.
