The Democratic senator also shared some steps that he would take in a hypothetical run for the White House.
“If I was running for president, I want to know: How do I go to an area and find out why people who are voting against their own best interests will continue to do so at a detriment to themselves and their family? If you want to know why national politics and national Democrats aren’t winning in rural America, come to West Virginia.”
The 2020 Presidential Election
The 2020 presidential election is definitely shaping up to be interesting. President Trump has already stated that he will run for re-election. Democrats, on the other hand, are working around the clock to stop Trump from getting a second term. Various Democratic names of potential contenders have come up; some of these names include Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, and even Hillary Clinton.
Manchin’s statements come as Democrats experience a seeming split in their party. On one hand, there are progressives who are taking more radical and extreme approaches against Trump and right-wing policies. Conversely, there are other leftists who oppose Trump and conservativism, yet favor a more moderate approach of combating them.
