West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin Considering Re-Registering as Democrat to Run for President
West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is considering re-registering as a Democrat in order to run for president, according to a report by Fox News. Manchin, who had previously left the Democratic Party and registered as an Independent in May, is now contemplating switching back to his original party to potentially launch a presidential campaign.
In a statement confirmed by Fox News, Manchin expressed his interest in re-registering as a Democrat and entering the presidential race to bring the party back to the center. He also called on President Biden to step aside, stating that it was time for a new generation to take the lead.
Manchin’s decision to switch from a Democrat to an Independent earlier this year raised speculation about his political ambitions, with reports suggesting that he was being encouraged to run for governor of West Virginia by moderate Republicans dissatisfied with the party’s nominee. However, Manchin’s recent remarks indicate a potential shift towards a presidential bid.
The senator’s possible re-registration as a Democrat comes at a crucial time, with President Biden announcing on Sunday that he would not seek re-election. This development could pave the way for a new candidate to emerge within the Democratic Party, with Vice President Kamala Harris being mentioned as a potential contender.
Manchin’s decision to reconsider his party affiliation and explore a presidential run has sparked interest and speculation among political circles. As the situation continues to evolve, all eyes will be on the West Virginia senator and his potential political aspirations.
