The Impending Departure of Joe Manchin: End of an Era for West Virginia Democrats

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has urged Sen. Joe Manchin not to tarnish his legacy by running as a third-party presidential candidate in 2024. Moore stated that No Labels, a group searching for a centrist candidate like Manchin, is not the solution for disillusioned voters. Regardless of potential third-party candidates, Moore believes President Joe Biden's accomplishments will persuade voters to reelect him. Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican and national co-chair of No Labels, commended Manchin's work with the group but expressed uncertainty about his presidential ambitions.
