Sen. Mitt Romney not seeking 3rd-party presidential ticket with Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, chief of staff says
By Josh Ellis, KSL-TV | Posted - Nov. 10, 2023 at 12:15 p.m.SALT LAKE CITY — Sen. Mitt Romney is not planning to run for president any time soon.
Romney's chief of staff confirmed to KSL-TV that the 2012 presidential candidate is not planning to appear on a third-party bid in 2024, and Romney was not aware of a "Draft Romney Manchin Committee" filing that was opened with the Federal Elections Commission.
That FEC filing came before Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia announced he would not be running for reelection in 2024. The Associated Press reported that a group was pushing for Manchin to partner with Romney, who is also retiring from the Senate, to seek a third-party presidential bid. That group filed the paperwork to form a formal draft committee on Thursday.
