February 16, 2024 Democrats, Politics

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., will announce Friday that he will not run for president, according to two sources familiar with the decision, after spending months mulling a bid that would have shaken up the 2024 campaign. Manchin, 76, had previously said he would not seek re-election to his Senate seat this year, leading to speculation that he would run for the White House as an independent or on the No Labels ticket.

NEW: MANCHIN will *not* run for president, ending months of speculation and a few brief weeks of a listening tour, sources tell me @JulieNBCNews & @mikememoli. More TK during his remarks.
