West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is not going to launch a third party run for President.
"I will not be seeking a third party run, i will not be involved in a presidential run," Manchin said.
Manchin made the announcement during a speech at West Virginia University as part of his "listening tour" that kicked off last month with his daughter's campaign group "Americans Together" — a movement that touts itself as the "moderate majority" that rejects the "extremism in politics.”
"I'm working with my daughter, working with people that we have around Americans Together and putting all my efforts toward that," Manchin said Friday.
Manchin’s announcement came one day after he floated Mitt Romney’s name as a possible running mate.
