Democratic Senator Joe Manchin fueled speculation that despite his denials, he could run for the nation’s top office in 2024 as he left open the door to being a candidate under the ‘No Labels’ banner
WASHINGTON, July 17 - Maverick Democratic Senator Joe Manchin on Monday said he believed that having a third-party candidate run in the 2024 U.S. presidential election would "threaten" the two major political parties into tacking towards more moderate positions as their only path to victory.
Manchin has made a career in the Senate employing uncertainty about how he would vote on major legislation in the narrowly divided Senate in an attempt to steer bills in what he portrays as a more moderate direction.

New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley, in a statement ahead of the No Labels town hall event, accused the group of being "bankrolled by several high-profile Republican donors and supporters of former President Trump" in an attempt "to knock out President Biden and pave the way for another four years of scandal and division with Donald Trump."
