Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) might vie for another term in 2024, despite vowing in 2018 that he wouldn’t do so, as he now holds tremendous power as the most moderate Democrat in the Senate.

“You never know. You don’t know. There’s always a chance, absolutely,” Manchin, 73, told Politico. “You better be prepared, that’s all I can say. And I’m being prepared.”
