Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said he might run for president, but he would not compete for his party’s nomination and would instead launch a third-party bid.
“I’ve never been in any race I’ve ever spoiled. I’ve been in races to win. And if I get in a race, I’m going to win,” Manchin said.A town hall meeting marked the 2024 debut of No Labels, a bipartisan group that said it’s trying to offer Americans a third choice if a rematch emerges between Biden and Trump.
The group unveiled what it called a “common sense” policy book aiming to find middle ground on controversial issues from abortion rights to guns to immigration.“We’re putting nation before party. We’re putting democracy before party,” said Benjamin Chavis, the national co-chair of No Labels. Another threat to Biden’s re-election bid comes from Cornel West, the former Harvard scholar who is mounting a Green Party presidential bid.“I wish they would spend as much time focusing on the plight of poor and working people as they do focusing on the spoiler,” West said. “I don’t even like that category since so many of folk who vote third party don’t vote at all.”
Manchin, who has yet to say if he intends to seek reelection to the Senate next year or run for higher office, dismissed such concerns.
