West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, who switched from a Democratic Party member to an Independent, is considering switching back and running for president.
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin is considering re-registering as a Democrat so he can run for president. Fox News confirmed Manchin, who in May left the Democratic Party and registered as an Independent, said Sunday he is considering re-registering with his original party and running for president.
He will go down with a legacy unlike many people as one of the finest and surely a patriot, an American,' Manchin said of Biden during an appearance on ABC News' 'This Week.' 'And so with that, I come with a heavy heart to think the time has come for him to pass the torch to a new generation.' Manchin changed his party registration from Democrat to independent this year, though he still caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate.
Since that report was published, Manchin was reportedly bombarded by people urging him to run at an event at the Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, according to WVMetroNews. The Greenbrier is notably owned by the state’s current governor, Democrat-turned-Republican Jim Justice, who is term-limited and now is the GOP’s Senate nominee to replace Manchin. Fox News' Aishah Hasnie and Fox News Digital's Julia Johnson and Danielle Wallace contributed to this report.
