Manchin says he would consider 2024 presidential run

What he's saying: "I will do anything I can to help my country, and you're saying, 'Does that mean you would consider it?' Absolutely," Manchin said, per NBC.

• Manchin said he represents centrist Democrats and Republicans and that he hopes to "reinvigorate" those voters.
• "I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure, to mobilize that moderate, sensible, commonsense middle," he said, per NBC.
• He added that he thinks Biden's policies have gone "too far left."

Manchin also said he's "scared to death" of a second Trump presidency.

• "I think we'll lose democracy as we know it," if Trump is elected again, he said.

The big picture: No Labels — a well-funded organization that's exploring a potential bipartisan presidential ticket — earlier this month called Manchin a "tireless voice for America's commonsense majority and a longtime ally of the No Labels movement."
