The host of “The View” on ABC debates whether Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) could potentially run as a third-party candidate for the 2024 presidential election and help President Trump get re-elected.
Manchin announced Thursday that he will not seek re-election to the Senate. “I have made one of the most difficult decisions of my life and decided that I will not run for re-election to the United States Senate. But what I will do is travel the country and speak out to see if there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle, and bring the American people together. We need to take America back and not let this divisive hatred continue to tear us apart.”
Some co-hosts of “The View” are concerned about her doing so, with some speculating she’ll join the No Label movement.
Co-host Joy Behar noted that Manchin “has a lot of people wondering if power in DC is going to shift to the right, because yesterday he announced he’s ending his run as the worst Democrat in the Senate,” adding that he’s “up there with Kyrsten Cinema.”
“So we’re going to lose the Senate because of this?” Behar asked.

“Most likely,” replied co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, before later stating it “sounds like Joe Manchin is hinting at a possible third-party offer. People are wondering if he’ll join the somewhat No Label discussion. I have been very critical of No Labels because my fear is that, A, it will end up boosting Trump, getting him more supporters, but also I think for the third party, which we need in this country to exist, it will take years not a cycle.”
However, he argued that he “warmed up” to certain aspects of the idea in theory and liked many of the candidates associated with the movement so much that he was “willing to listen to what they have to say, but I am concerned that it could end up promoting more dangerous candidates.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin said he wasn’t sure if a third-party candidate “has ever been successful other than drawing votes” from any of the major parties as others recalled names like Ralph Nader and Jill Stein. He later argued, “I think it’s a bad idea, I think it’s a better idea to have a healthier Republican Party that’s not led by Donald Trump. I think it’s time for moderate and sophisticated Republicans to step up and denouncing Trump and I think that will solve more problems than this No Label Party.”
Co-host Ana Navarro argued that Joe Manchin has “been a problem child for the Democrats over the last few years, he and Kyrsten Sinema, but he’s been part of the family and he’s kept them in the majority, so he plays a very important role. .”

However, he contends that his potential would be a disaster for Democrats.
He added that while he initially liked the No Labels movement, “This thing to me is a desperate cry for relevance and attention by a group of ex-elitist ‘somethings’ who are thirsty to be part of the conversation.” He then suggested that he would ask Manchin, “Are you willing to take responsibility for putting Donald Trump back in the White House? A man who is a threat to democracy, a threat to American values, who is leading an insurgency? Are you willing to be a part of something that might finally put a man who should be anywhere near the Oval Office, he should be in a jail cell.”

Sara Haines argued that while she likes the No Label Party in theory and as a potential future prospect, “I don’t think it’s appropriate for this election because of the risk of running against Donald Trump.”
Griffin claims that he has spoken to “people involved with No Labels who have said that if they see this poll well that shows it’s only going to be a boon for Trump, they’re going to end up pulling their names off the ballot.”
Behar dismissed the idea that this would be the “death knell for Democrats,” citing election results earlier in the week that “show voters are more motivated by issues like protecting safe abortion rights,” warning them not to lose sight of the possible consequences of Trump’s election. involvement in the end of Roe v. Wade.
