Joe Manchin Explains Why He&#8217;s Not Running\u200c for President<\/h2>\n<p>Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) recently revealed his decision to not seek\u200b a third-party bid for the White House this \u200dyear. In\u200d an interview with CNN, he\u200b cited the Senate&#8217;s failure to pass a \u200bborder and <a title=\"Trump-aligned group opposes Biden's 6B foreign aid bill.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-aligned-group-comes-out-against-biden-106-billion-foreign-aid-bill\/\">foreign aid bill<\/a> \u200das the &#8220;biggest&#8221; reason behind his choice.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin\u2063 expressed his disappointment \u2064in the lack of bipartisan cooperation on the border deal, especially considering the ongoing crisis at\u2064 the\u200c border. \u2063He placed blame on former President Donald Trump for\u2064 causing a\u200b sudden change in\u200b the negotiations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I always believed that we could\u200b legislate through a \u200bcrisis. We&#8217;d\u200c come\u2062 together for a crisis. Well, guess what, \u200bwe have a crisis. The border is a crisis,&#8221; Manchin stated. &#8220;I saw my friends walk away when they were determined to pass \u200dborder security,\u2062 and they were\u200d on board three\u200d days before that. And with Donald Trump coming as hard as\u2063 he came at them,\u2063 they cowered down and\u2064 walked away. I said, &#8216;We&#8217;re not\u200d fixing anything\u200b in Washington.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite his decision not \u2062to run for president, Manchin commended Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) for his \u2062efforts on the border \u2064deal, calling him the &#8220;most decent, honorable person and \u2062conservative \u200din the entire Senate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b <a title=\"Pentagon Refuses to Provide Key Details About Billion Ukraine Funding Request\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pentagon-refuses-to-provide-key-details-about-38-billion-ukraine-funding-request\/\">proposed legislation aimed<\/a> \u2064to \u200cmake changes to the asylum process, grant the president expulsion authority, and \u2063increase the number\u200d of \u200dBorder Patrol agents \u200band asylum officers, among other provisions.<\/p>\n<p>While Manchin has ruled out endorsing a specific \u200dcandidate \u2063at this time, he expressed openness \u2063to considering other third-party or independent options if the main party tickets \u2063in\u200d November consist of Trump and President\u200d Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not endorsing anybody right now.
