Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-manchin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Manchin</a> (I-WV) is reportedly thinking about returning to the Democrats and running for the White House now that President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> has announced he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-drops-out-of-presidential-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">would be ending</a> his 2024 re-election bid.
CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper <a href="https://x.com/jaketapper/status/1815156959210795494" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> Sunday on X that sources close to Manchin said the senator is considering re-registering to the Democratic Party and &#8220;throwing his hat into the ring.&#8221;

Sources close to Sen Joe Manchin, independent of WV, say he&#39;s considering re-registering as a Democrat and throwing his hat into the ring

Sources <a href="https://x.com/NBCNews/status/1815170708957253780" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also told</a> NBC News that Manchin was considering a bid against Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a>, who is the only declared candidate seeking the Democratic Party&#8217;s presidential nomination so far.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
JUST IN: West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin is considering re-registering as a Democrat and running for president, two sources say. 
He would be the first potential challenger to VP Kamala Harris. <a href="https://t.co/peDw9RrmdV">https://t.co/peDw9RrmdV</a> <a href="https://t.co/NSn9SUTGe3">pic.twitter.com/NSn9SUTGe3</a>

CBS News reporter Robert Costa said &#8220;some Democratic donors and officials are reaching out to Sen. Joe Manchin to consider standing for the presidential nomination, per two people familiar with the discussions.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Manchin is now considering re-registering as a Democrat to offer Democrats an alternative to VP Harris… per several sources familiar with the discussions… no final decision has been made but talks continue tonight in his inner circle
&mdash; Robert Costa (@costareports) <a href="https://twitter.com/costareports/status/1815163187852878282?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 21, 2024</a></blockquote>
He added, &#8220;Manchin is now considering re-registering as a Democrat to offer Democrats an alternative to VP Harris… per several sources familiar with the discussions… no final decision has been made but talks continue tonight in his inner circle.&#8221;
Manchin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-manchin-announces-he-will-not-seek-re-election-to-senate-in-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> in November that he would not run for another Senate term in 2024 and then embarked on a listening tour in places around the United States while leaving open the possibility of a White House run.
By mid-February, Manchin had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-manchin-announces-he-will-not-run-for-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> that he would not be involved in a presidential campaign.
There had been speculation about Manchin embarking on a third-party campaign with No Labels, which had been touting a prospective <a href="https://www.nolabels.org/unity-ticket-faqs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Unity ticket,&#8221;</a> but the group <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-labels-ditches-search-for-2024-presidential-unity-ticket" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ended its search</a> in early April without any challengers.

Manchin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-manchin-leaves-the-democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">left the Democratic Party</a> and became an independent in late May, saying at the time, &#8220;I have seen both the Democrat and Republican parties leave West Virginia and our country behind for partisan extremism while jeopardizing our democracy.&#8221;
After saying neither party was willing to seek compromise, Manchin added, &#8220;To stay true to myself and remain committed to put country before party, I have decided to register as an independent with no party affiliation and continue to fight for America’s sensible majority.&#8221;
Facing intense pressure from allies to drop out after a fumbling debate performance and concerns about his age and electability, Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-drops-out-of-presidential-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on Sunday afternoon that he would be stopping his 2024 campaign to focus on the remainder of his term.
Biden, who is 81, later said he was <a href="https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1815087772216303933" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsing</a> Harris to become the Democratic Party&#8217;s presidential nominee. Harris is 59 years old while Manchin is 76. Former President Donald Trump, who is the GOP&#8217;s presidential nominee, is 78.
Others quickly rallied behind Harris, but not everyone, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/obama-does-not-endorse-kamala-harris-for-president-we-will-be-navigating-uncharted-waters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including</a> former President Barack Obama. Harris released a statement that said she intended to “earn and win” the nomination — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-happens-with-the-dem-presidential-nomination-now-that-biden-has-dropped-of-the-2024-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">possibly through an open convention</a> in the next several weeks.
During the hours before Biden ended his re-election bid, Manchin appeared on Sunday morning talk shows and joined the chorus of elected officials <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/joe-biden-2024-campaign-step-aside-joe-manchin-face-the-nation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling</a> on the sitting president to step aside.
On <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8psr4sv_c6U" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221;</a> Manchin advocated for an &#8220;open process&#8221; and said that he thought &#8220;we have a lot of talent on the bench.&#8221;
Noting that he was &#8220;partial&#8221; to governors, Manchin touted Democrats Andy Beshear of Kentucky and Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania as &#8220;two tremendous governors&#8221; in states close to West Virginia.
Manchin, himself an ex-governor, added, &#8220;They haven&#8217;t made you pick a side and demonize the other side. They have brought people together. This is what an open process would do, I think. It would bring more people out in a process that could bring Democrats like me back.&#8221;
Fox News anchor Bret Baier affirmed on X that Manchin &#8220;IS considering re-registering as a Democrat and throwing his hat into the ring for President -&#8216;Even just to have the discussion of bringing the party back to the center.'&#8221;
