The Impact of Joe Manchin's Decision on Climate and Political Landscape

Senator Joe Manchin says there is "plenty of time" for him or someone else to pursue a third-party bid for president, and he doesn't believe it would just help reelect former President Donald Trump. Manchin, who announced he won't seek reelection to the U.S. Senate, plans to travel the country and speak out to see if there is interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle. He is involved with No Labels, a centrist organization exploring an alternative "unity" presidential candidate in 2024. Manchin feels politically homeless and comfortable working with both sides, but hasn't made a decision on whether he'll run for president.
