Manchin's Political Future Remains Uncertain Until End of Year.

Senator Joe Manchin declined to comment on whether he would run for president on a centrist ticket but emphasized the need for a "reasonable, responsible middle" in politics. He has been critical of certain aspects of President Biden's agenda and has refused to say whether he thinks Biden deserves a second term. Manchin is up for reelection next year and has said he will make a decision about his political future at the end of the year. He also called for thoroughness in the judicial system's handling of former President Trump's recent indictment.
