After President Joe Biden upended the 2024 Election Sunday with his decision to bow out of the race, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin tamped down speculation that he might try to launch a bid.
“I am not going to be a candidate for president,” Manchin told CBS News Monday.
Manchin thanked Biden for his service to the country but did not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Instead, Manchin called for a “mini-primary” for Democrats to pick a new nominee.
Manchin, a Democrat-turned-independent who’s not seeking another Senate term, had flirted with the possibility of running for president late last year but ultimately declined.
Though Manchin was a key vote for Biden and Democrats on numerous pieces of legislation and nominations, he also wielded effective veto power over some of Biden’s policy priorities and appointees in a narrowly divided chamber.
Earlier on Sunday, Manchin was one of the last lawmakers to call for Biden to step aside in the presidential race, following dozens of prominent Democrats who were concerned about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump.
