(Bloomberg) -- West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin announced he is foregoing a 2024 presidential run, after speculation that he would present a centrist alternative to President Joe Biden and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.

“I will not be seeking a third-party run. I will not be involved in a presidential run,” Manchin said Friday during a speech in West Virginia. “I am not going to be a deal-breaker, if you will, a spoiler, or whatever you want to call it. I just don’t think it’s the right time.”

“Democracy is at stake right now,” he said.

He voted for impeachment, so as he said directly, he knows democracy is at stake.
