Manchin not running for president [View all]

https://share.newsbreak.com/667k9cbm
"Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is set to announce Friday that he will not run for president, ending long-running speculation that he would mount a third-party bid, according to spokesperson Jon Kott.

The West Virginia senator, one of the most moderate Democrats in the Senate, already announced that he would not seek another term for his Senate seat, but he had previously not ruled out running for president."
