The 2024 race for Sen_JoeManchin's coveted Senate seat is well underway despite the incumbent Democrat refusing to say if he'll throw his hat in the ring.
Manchin, a centrist Democrat representing the now heavily Republican state, has yet to decide if he'll run for a third full term in 2024 and maintains that he is still unsure what he'll do. He has also fiercely defended plans from the centrist group No Labels to create a third-party presidential ticket amid speculation that he could be their nominee.Gov.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Steve Daines , who chairs the NRSC this cycle, have worked for months to recruit the most electable candidates in must-win swing states to retake the majority next year. Both men have said their path to victory relies on wins in Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, four states with Democratic incumbents up for reelection.
Justice's family business oversees an empire of coal mines, processing facilities, agricultural companies, and the landmark Greenbrier resort in his home state. The Justice family businesses, as well as the governor and his children, have faced increased scrutiny over their nearly $1 billion in debt since entering the race to unseat Manchin.
The firm was a money pit, facing scores of lawsuits that continue to damage the company's overall financial position. While coal prices rebounded early last year after Russia invaded Ukraine, it has not been enough to revive the firm. Justice has said he turned to Greensill for help with rebuilding the company and described the debt in June 2021 as"a burden on our family beyond belief, and we’ll have to deal with it. It’s tough. It is really tough." He has also denied any wrongdoing by him or his companies, saying"we didn’t have one earthly clue" of the problems that would emerge from borrowing so much from Greensill.
