Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) has contended that the 2024 election presents a unique opportunity for a third-party candidate to genuinely challenge for the presidency. Amid increasing speculation that the 76-year-old senator is contemplating his own presidential bid, Manchin expressed his views in an interview with CBN, published on Tuesday.
In the interview, the retiring Democrat remarked, “I don’t think there’s ever been a time like this, in the political posturing that we have in our country or the political procedures that we have and how we have to do things.”
He further asserted, “And with that, I think that if there was ever going to be a time for an individual to run not on either of the major parties, this would be the time.”
