Joe Manchin Considers Presidential Run

West Virginia Senator Downplays Rumors But Leaves Door Open

Manchin: "I Absolutely Would Consider It"

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin has inched closer to confirming that he could run for president, saying in an interview with NBC News that he "absolutely would consider it." The statement marks a significant departure from Manchin's previous stance on the matter.

However, in a statement on Friday, Manchin announced that he will not mount a 2024 campaign for president. He stated that he will not seek a third term as a US Senator and is now at the end of his second term.

Despite his recent announcement, rumors continue to swirl about Manchin's political future. Some sources have suggested that he is considering re-registering as a Democrat to compete for the party's presidential nomination.

Manchin's potential presidential run has sparked widespread speculation and debate within the political landscape. His moderate views and willingness to work with both parties have earned him both praise and criticism.

As the 2024 presidential election draws closer, it remains to be seen whether Manchin will ultimately decide to enter the race. However, his recent comments and actions have certainly fueled speculation and suggest that he is keeping his options open.
