Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) on Thursday reportedly reaffirmed he will not seek reelection, snubbing Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer’s (D., N.Y.) suggestion that he do so to help keep the Senate out of Republicans' control. 

"Hell no. Another six-year sentence here? Are you crazy?" Manchin said, according to HuffPost reporter Igor Bobic. The remark came after Manchin last week said he entertained the possibility of launching a late Senate campaign as an independent during a conversation with Schumer, telling CNN after the meeting that he "[doesn’t] know if anything in Washington, D.C., is 100 percent."
