Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is keeping his options open ahead of the 2024 election cycle as he mulls whether or not to run for another term in the Senate.
Over the weekend, the linchpin senator appeared to rebut reports that he ruled out running for president in 2024. When asked for clarification, his spokesperson told the Washington Examiner, "Manchin continues to consider the best way he can serve his state and country. But make no mistake, he will win whatever race he enters."Earlier this month, Manchin riffed on his 2024 intentions during a radio interview he did with MetroNews.
However, later in that interview, host Hoppy Kercheval pressed Manchin about whether he had actually taken a presidential run off the table.Then, on Sunday, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo noted that he ruled out a run for the presidency in an interview with Manchin, who replied that the interview with Kercheval was in"jest."
A presidential run for Manchin seems unlikely, given that he has not built up a presidential campaign apparatus. Aspiring candidates typically begin visiting key battleground states and hiring talent in advance of a launch. Furthermore, if he were to run, he would likely face an uphill primary battle with President Joe Biden, who has declared his intent to run.
