Sen. Joe Manchin III gave few clues about his own 2024 plans during a town hall sponsored by the No Labels organization Monday evening in New Hampshire, though he did at times sound like a candidate for, well, something.
“I’ve never been in any race I’ve ever spoiled. I’ve been in races to win, and if I get in a race I’m going to win,” Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, said while sharing the stage with former Utah Republican Gov. Jon Hunstman.
Manchin, whose Senate term is also up in 2024, has made no formal announcement of his intentions in his race, either. Gov. Jim Justice and Rep. Alex X. Mooney are vying for the Republican nomination in the state that overwhelmingly voted for former President Donald Trump. And there may be no Democrat other than Manchin in the entire state with a plausible case for victory.
