Manchin, 75, is arguably the most conservative Democratic senator. He has told reporters that he will wait until late this year before announcing whether he will seek re-election to his U.S. Senate seat representing West Virginia.
President of the United States from 2017 to 2021WASHINGTON - Maverick Democratic Senator Joe Manchin on Monday is set to address a bipartisan group in New Hampshire, a critical early-voting state in the 2024 presidential primary elections, feeding speculation that he could be weighing a third-party candidacy.
Should Manchin seek another term, he would likely face a serious challenge from Governor Jim Justice who is seeking the Republican Party nomination in the Senate race. The state has been leaning heavily Republican, having overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. "It is clear that most Americans are exceedingly frustrated by the growing divide in our political parties and toxic political rhetoric from our elected leaders," Manchin said in a No Labels statement last week detailing Monday's town hall event at Saint Anselm College in Manchester.
Opinion polling shows that neither Democrats nor Republicans are thrilled with their likeliest 2024 White House candidates, with four in ten Republicans telling a May Reuters/Ipsos poll that they think Trump should not run again in 2024, and a similar number of Democrats citing a similar view on Biden.On Sunday, No Labels co-chair Joe Lieberman said his group will not field a candidate in 2024 if polling showed that doing so would help elect the Democratic or Republican presidential nominee.
