# Senator Joe Manchin Open to 2024 Presidential Run

Democratic Senator **Joe Manchin** from West Virginia has announced that he is open to the idea of running for president in the 2024 election (1,2,3,4,5). This announcement comes after his recent decision not to seek re-election for the Senate in 2024 (1,2,3,4,5). 

Manchin has expressed his willingness to do anything to help his country, including considering a presidential run if it meant saving the country (4,5). He plans to travel the country to gauge interest in creating a movement to bring Americans together (2,3). 

> "I will do anything I can to help my country, and you're saying, 'Does that mean you would consider it?' Absolutely." - Senator Joe Manchin (5)

Manchin has close ties with the "No Labels" group, a centrist organization that is considering a third-party presidential candidate (1,6). He attended a "No Labels" event in New Hampshire, sparking speculation about his potential third-party presidential bid (3). 

However, Manchin has not confirmed his presidential ambitions, stating, "It's not about me. It’s not about the next election. I keep telling people, this is a movement" (3). 

## Potential Impact on the Democratic Party and the 2024 Election

Manchin's potential presidential run has sparked discussions about its potential impact on the Democratic Party and the 2024 election. Some Democrats are concerned that a Manchin presidential run could draw votes away from President Joe Biden and potentially benefit former President Donald Trump (1). 

Manchin himself has expressed concerns about the possibility of Trump becoming president again, stating that it could threaten democracy (2,5). He also mentioned being worried that Biden has been pushed too far to the left (2,4). 

> "I'm totally, absolutely scared to death that Donald Trump would become president again. I think we will lose democracy as we know it." - Senator Joe Manchin (5)

## Manchin's Political Stance

Manchin has often clashed with his own party, threatening to vote against some progressive proposals during the first two years of President Biden's administration (2). He has criticized Biden's policies, particularly on energy and the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border (5). 

Manchin describes himself as independent and dismissed the idea that running as a third-party candidate would spoil anything (5). He feels politically homeless and is unsure if the Democratic Party considers him part of them (3). 

> "The bottom line is, I'm as independent as it becomes." - Senator Joe Manchin (5)

## What's Next?

Manchin did not provide a specific deadline for making a decision about a presidential run but suggested considering it around Super Tuesday in March (5). His decision could potentially reshape the dynamics of the 2024 presidential election. 

As the country awaits Manchin's decision, it's clear that his potential run for the presidency could have significant implications for both the Democratic and Republican parties, as well as the 2024 election.
