Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) will decide at the end of this year whether or not he runs against President Joe Biden in the next presidential election or for reelection, the lawmaker has said.

“There’s plenty of time for the elections,” Manchin said in an interview with CBS’s “Face The Nation” on March 5. “This is the problem with America right now, we start an election every time there’s a cycle coming up.”
