Sen. Joe Manchin, the Democrat from West Virginia, announced Friday he will not launch a 2024 bid for the White House as an independent -- removing what would have been a major challenge for President Joe Biden's campaign.
"I will not be seeking a third-party run. I will not be involved in a presidential," Manchin said at an event at West Virginia University.
Manchin told the crowd that he will focus on putting his efforts behind his daughter's Super PAC "Americans Together."
"I will be involved in making sure that we secure a president that has the knowledge and has the passion and has the ability to bring this country together. And right now, we're challenged and we've got to see if we can move people in that direction."
