Sen. Joe Manchin’s wife Gayle is recovering in an Alabama hospital after a car accident Monday, the West Virginia Democrat’s office revealed Tuesday.
“My wife Gayle and her colleague Guy Land were involved in a car accident en route from the airport to a hotel in Birmingham, Alabama, for an Appalachian Regional Commission event planned for today,” Manchin, 76, said in a statement. . Gayle Manchin and Land were included in the
University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, and is receiving “excellent care,” according to the senator.
“He remains in stable condition but will stay there for a few days as a precaution,” Joe Manchin said. “We would like to thank the first responders who responded to the call and were on site to provide assistance and support.”

Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), wished Gayle Manchin and Land well after Joe Manchin’s announcement.
“Charlie and I are thinking about our friends Gayle Manchin and Guy Land as they recover from car accidents,” Capito posted on X. “We hope for a quick recovery and are grateful for the quick action of the first responders,” Manchin announced last year that he would not run for a fourth term in the Senate in office at the prospect of a fierce battle against GOP West Virginia Governor Jim Justice .

During the first two years of the Biden administration, Manchin emerged as the leading vote in the 50-50 Senate, repeatedly intruding on big-ticket progressive agenda items.
In the 2022 midterm elections, Democrats take Senate seats and Republicans take over the House of Representatives, reducing the importance of West Virginia.
Although he ruled out a Senate run in 2024, Manchin has repeatedly toyed with an independent presidential bid.
“Well, I’m not going to be a spoiler. If there’s a path forward, I’m always involved and competitive,” he told “Fox & Friends” earlier this month. “If I’m going to be involved, I definitely want to win, and I’m going to fight for win.”
