Manchin reacts to Republican challenger: 'I always wish everyone the best'
Fox News
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., tells Fox News that he has not made up his mind about running for re-election in 2024, but wishes his challengers the best.
"We'll just see how it goes. But, you know, I always wish everyone the best," Manchin said. Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital. Send tips to chris.pandolfo@fox.com and follow him on Twitter @ChrisCPandolfo.
Manchin, a moderate Democrat representing West Virginia – a state former President Trump won by 39 points in 2020 – is viewed as one of the most vulnerable incumbent lawmakers in 2024. He won re-election to his second full term in 2018 by a margin of only 3% and next time may face a primary challenge from his left.
He has repeatedly frustrated progressives by acting as a swing vote in the Senate, upsetting major pieces of President Biden's agenda by opposing certain spending and refusing to vote with other Democrats to eliminate the 60-vote filibuster threshold to pass bills in the Senate.
