Sen. Joe Manchin declined to say whether he would run on a centrist presidential ticket, but the moderate West Virginia Democrat said Americans were sick of the political division in the country.
“We cannot basically have a divided country, and we cannot withstand that,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union” in an interview with Dana Bash. “There’s a movement going on that people want, to bring the extremes back to the sensible and reasonable, responsible middle.” Manchin would not respond when asked by Bash if he would consider running for president on a ticket of the business-friendly centrist group No Labels, which is seeking to get on the presidential ballot in all 50 states.
” Manchin, who is up for reelection next year, told NBC News on Sunday that any decision about his political future would be made at the end of the year. “My filing date is January 15 in 2024, and I will make my decision maybe a little bit before that, but not until the end of the year, I can assure you,” he said.
