West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin announced Friday that he will not run for president in the 2024 election.
"I will not be seeking a third-party run. I will not be involved in a presidential run," Manchin said at an event with his political organization, Americans Together, at West Virginia University.
"I will be involved in making sure that we secure a president who has the knowledge and has the passion and has the ability to bring this country together. And right now, we're challenged. We've got to see if we can get people in that direction."
