Joe Manchin Joins &#8220;Common Sense&#8221; Town Hall, Fueling Speculation<\/h2>\n<p>Get ready for an exciting event! Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has just been added to the lineup of No Labels&#8217; &#8220;Common Sense&#8221; town hall. This has sparked rumors that he might be considering a third-party run for president.<\/p>\n<p>Joining former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman (R) as a keynote speaker, Senator Manchin will take the stage at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire on July 17. This centrist political group&#8217;s event promises to be a must-attend gathering.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not all! The town hall will also feature other notable guests, including former Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R), civil rights leader Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., former U.S. Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair, and former Reps. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) and Joe Cunningham (D-S.C.).<\/p>\n<p>No Labels recently unveiled its &#8220;Common Sense&#8221; agenda, which tackles the United States&#8217; biggest challenges. From the national budget to energy, immigration, inflation, education, and the nation&#8217;s role on the world stage, this agenda covers it all.<\/p>\n<p>The name &#8220;Common Sense&#8221; is a nod to Thomas Paine&#8217;s influential pamphlet from 1776, advocating for American independence from Great Britain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At a moment when candidates in both parties too often speak only to the small sliver of voters who show up in their primaries, &#8216;Common Sense&#8217; speaks to, and for, everyone else,&#8221; said No Labels in a July 10 news release. &#8220;Even if No Labels never offers our ballot line to a presidential ticket, we hope and believe Common Sense can shape the debate in 2024 and force candidates on both sides to respond to the concerns of the commonsense majority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Recent polls have consistently shown President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump leading the Democratic and GOP presidential primary fields, respectively. No Labels, wary of a 2020 rematch, has suggested the possibility of a &#8220;unity ticket&#8221; consisting of one Democrat and one Republican.<\/p>\n<p>However, whether this becomes a reality depends on whether the two major parties &#8220;wake up,&#8221; as stated in an April 2 memo by the group.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Manchin Fuels Speculation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rumors have been swirling for weeks about Senator Manchin&#8217;s potential third<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/signs-hint-that-joe-manchin-could-be-preparing-for-potential-third-party-presidential-bid-report\/\" title=\"Joe Manchin may be considering a third-party presidential bid, according to reports.\">-party presidential bid<\/a>, and he hasn&#8217;t done much to dispel them. In a June 4 interview with Fox News, he stated that he was &#8220;not ruling anything in, not ruling anything out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He further explained, &#8220;If Plan A shows that we&#8217;re going to the far reaches of both sides, the far-left and the far-right, and that people don&#8217;t want to go to the far-left and the far-right, they want to be governed from the middle, I think&#8230; that you better have that Plan B available and ready to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While he didn&#8217;t explicitly confirm being &#8220;Plan B&#8221; in that interview, his participation in the upcoming town hall could be seen as a hint.<\/p>\n<p>In a July 12 statement, Senator Manchin expressed, &#8220;It is clear that most Americans are exceedingly frustrated by the growing divide in our political parties and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/whos-really-to-blame-for-misinformation-online\/\" title=\"Who\u2019s Really\u00a0To Blame For Misinformation Online?\u00a0\">toxic political rhetoric<\/a> from our elected leaders.
