Sen. Joe Manchin did not commit to seeking reelection, running for president in 2024, or even remaining a Democrat while on "Meet The Press."

New funniest 2024 outcome is :biden-alert: kicks it or is just doesn't want to/can't do another 4 and the new ticket is Joe Manchin and :volcel-kamala:

Sen. Joe Manchin has not ruled out a presidential run in 2024, nor has he committed to remaining a Democrat.

The senator from West Virginia remained noncommittal on his future plans while speaking with NBC's Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press" on Sunday morning.

"I haven't made a decision what I'm going to do in 2024. I've got two years ahead of me now to do the best I can for the state and for my country," Manchin said. "Everything's on the table."

    "The only thing I can tell you is what I will do is whatever I can when I make my decision what I think is the best that I can support and represent the people of West Virginia but also be true to this country and the constitution of this country," Manchin replied.

    I wonder if he seriously thinks that would lead anywhere. Can't imagine he would break single digits in any primary contest, other than WV I guess.

      He’d maybe get a couple delegates in WV. None anywhere else. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if write in votes for “Fuck Joe Manchin” beat him nationwide

        I can absolutely see him winning in South Carolina.

    Hasn't Manchin been President for more than eight years already?

    I can think of no fate more fitting for Joe Manchin than to run for President. He deserves it. I actually think he should be required to run for President. Not just in 2024, but every four years. I want to see him on the campaign trail, eating fried ostrich turds and drinking 64oz jugs of Lipton every day for the rest of his life.

    I think this is the most productive use of his time and the most fitting end to his political legacy.
