There may be an unexpected contender in the 2024 presidential race, as Senator Joe Manchin is reportedly considering a run as an independent candidate. Sources close to Manchin reveal that he has been privately weighing his options, potentially offering a third choice between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
Manchin's deliberations appear to be advancing, with reports indicating that he has been actively traveling across the country, including visits to New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Georgia. It is said that the senator sees potential openings if the race boils down to a rematch between Biden and Trump. However, he is also considering the possibility of a third-party bid if circumstances such as Trump's conviction or Biden's health issues arise, providing an opportunity to advocate for a centrist alternative.
