Joe Manchin: Why not have options?
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., joins ‘FOX News Sunday’ to discuss federal charges against Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., the Biden administration’s proposed offshore oil and gas leasing program, and his plans to run as a third-party candidate.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., announced Thursday he would not seek re-election to the Senate.
“To the West Virginians who have put their trust in me and fought side by side to make our state better – it has been an honor of my life to serve you,” he wrote in a post on X, including a video explaining his decision.
“When America is at her best, we get things done by putting country before party, working across the aisle, and finding common ground. Many times this approach has landed me in hot water, but the fight to unite has been well worth it,” he said.
