Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia told CNN that his decision to travel to New Hampshire with the group No Labels – which is pushing for a third-party centrist candidate – is not related to any such plans to seek the White House as an independent
“No, no, this is nothing about a third party, this is nothing about bringing up any office at all, it’s about a dialogue for common sense, which is very hard to have here, finding commonality,” Manchin said on Capitol Hill. “And we’re going around the country basically talking to people who want this commonality and common sense approach to how we fix problems. It’s not happening here.
“This is a strictly a conference we’re having for common sense.” Manchin, who is up for reelection for his US Senate seat next year, told CNN he simply is trying to have a “dialogue for common sense.” The senator though wouldn’t say if he shared concerns that a third-party bid could hurt fellow Democrat, President Joe Biden.
