West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin is likely going to leave the Democratic Party if he runs for office in 2024, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

Manchin hasn’t announced a run for reelection, where he would face stiff opposition from Republicans in the predominately red state, and has also teased a third-party run for president. The senator is deciding between three options for next year — retire from politics, run for reelection as an independent or for president on centrist organization No Labels’ ticket, sources familiar with private meetings told the Post.

When Manchin, his wife and daughter met with Democratic donors over Labor Day weekend, they told the senator he should run for reelection, according to the Post. Manchin insisted he would only do so as an independent, which he believes would be necessary to win.
