Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is still undecided on his political future, despite a looming deadline to run for reelection in 2024 or file to run for the presidency instead. He has been meeting with his family to discuss what he should do, as well as consulting former President Bill Clinton for his perspective.
Over Labor Day weekend, the Washington Post reported 76-year-old Manchin's future was the subject of several meetings with his family in the Hamptons, one of which was a private sit-down meeting with Clinton.
There are reportedly three options on the table for the centrist senator. These include launching a West Virginia reelection campaign but as an independent, joining No Labels to run for president on a third-party ticket, or retiring altogether.
One thing for sure, according to the report, is that if he chooses to stay in politics, he will probably leave the Democratic Party.
