Sen. Joe Manchin: Will Not Run for President: Yesterday, Sen. Manchin (D-WV) made it clear that he would not run for President. Rumors had abounded that the West Virginia Senator might run for Governor or President, both of which have now been dispelled. Previously, on national television, the Senator said he will not again run for Governor. With Gov. Jim Justice (R) ineligible to seek a third term in the Mountain State and broadly hinting that he will run for the Senate, the door would have opened for Manchin to again run for Governor, a position he held from 2005-2010.
The seriously discussed option was Mr. Manchin running for President on a No Labels ticket, possibly even with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) as his running mate. Now that both running for President and Governor are eliminated options, Sen. Manchin will soon opt for re-election or outright retirement from politics. The early tea leaves suggest he will seek a third full term. Vivek Ramaswamy: Announces for President: Venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination in a move that was anticipated. Mr. Ramaswamy, whose personal wealth is estimated to exceed $500 million, is basing his campaign on promoting the free enterprise system and opposing corporate “wokeism.” While Mr. Ramaswamy’s wealth will certainly allow him to run extensive electronic advertising, he is a very long shot to become a top tier candidate. Still, he is someone worthy of attention. Comments are closed.
