Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin said he will not run for president in 2024 during an interview on Wednesday.
He was interviewed at the West Virginia State Capitol by Metro News radio host Hoppy Kercheval, an influential figure in the state’s politics. “I’m not running for President of the United States,” Manchin said. He told Kercheval his presidential ambitions could change “two years from now, a year and a half from now.”
It was great to be at the WV Capitol this morning to join @HoppyKercheval on @WVMetroNews & see my friends & fmr colleagues in @wvsenate & @wvhouse. WV has received more than $4B in federal funds from COVID-19 legislation, & the #InflationReductionAct will further help our state. pic.twitter.com/63QNtf2MfQ

“You don’t know who the Democrat and Republican nominee are going to be,” Manchin continued. “My goal is to bring the country together.”
