Joe Manchin Not Running for Re-Election but Will Travel the Country
U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), in video sounding largely like a presidential run announcement than a resignation statement, says he will not run for re-election but will travel the country “to mobilize the middle and bring Americans together.”
Manchin is reportedly ranked as one of the most vulnerable Senators. He’s also ranked as “one of the most unpopular.”
Manchin has been the subject of much speculation, with some suggesting he may become the third-party presidential nominee for what has been called a right-wing dark money group, No Labels.
Others have speculated he would be unable to beat his GOP challenger, West Virginia governor Jim Justice.
