2024 Election


JOE MANCHIN ANNOUNCES HE WILL NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT

The centrist West Virginia Democrat had been mulling a bid for the White House
that would have shaken up the 2024 campaign.

By Alex Tabet, Ali Vitali, Julie Tsirkin and Mike Memoli

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., announced Friday that he is not
running for president after spending months mulling a bid that would have shaken
up the 2024 campaign.

"I will not be seeking a third-party run. I will not be involved in a
presidential run," Manchin said during a speech. "I will be involved in making
sure that we secure a president that has the knowledge and has the passion and
has the ability to bring this country together."




Manchin said that a third party could be viable down the road, but that a bid
this year would have been “very challenging.” He added that he didn't want to be
a "deal-breaker" or a "spoiler."

"I just don’t think it’s the right time," Manchin said. "We’re on a real
teetering situation here that could go either way. Democracy is at stake right
now."

Manchin, 76, had said last November that he would not seek re-election to his
Senate seat this year, leading to speculation that he would run for the White
House as an independent or as a third-party candidate.

Democrats feared a Manchin candidacy would have pulled votes away from President
Joe Biden and boost former President Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican
frontrunner, in a general election.



Manchin told reporters after his speech Friday that he spoke with Biden before
he made his announcement, calling their conversation "very, very respectful."

The centrist senator had been publicly refusing to rule out a White House bid as
recently as Thursday, when floated Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, and former Sen. Rob
Portman, R-Ohio, as potential running mates.

Manchin also appeared at events over the past few months hosted by No Labels,
the political group trying to mount a bipartisan, third-party presidential
campaign. He told reporters that he wished the group well, but that he didn't
think joining their ticket was the "proper course" for him.

In a statement following Manchin's announcement, former Connecticut Sen. Joe
Lieberman, former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory and civil rights leader
Benjamin Chavis Jr., the national co-chairs of No Labels, said they were
speaking with "several exceptional leaders" about a possible presidential
ticket.

Manchin said he planned to eventually endorse a candidate for president. He also
didn't rule out leaving the Democratic Party, but said he wants to try to fix it
first.

"I would like to think you can save your family," Manchin said. "Or you can save
your party that you were raised in."



As a Democrat representing a red state, Manchin has long been vocally critical
of both major parties and the political system as a whole, a note he struck once
again during his speech to about 80 attendees on Friday.

"I am convinced you can’t fix it from Washington. I’ve tried for 14 years and I
saw break last week,” Manchin said, referring the the failed bipartisan border
bill.

CORRECTION (Feb. 16, 2024, 7:34 p.m. ET): A previous version of this article
misspelled the last name of a national co-chair of No Labels. He is Joe
Lieberman, not Liberman.
