It is unclear if he is planning for a White House run.

I think we can rule that out.

Just throwing this out there as speculation:

Possible running mate for DJT?

Why rule it out? Biden drops out, Manchin steps in sounds reasonable, sounds moderate. I can see the sales pitch: Are you a middle of the road/moderate RINO or Rat? “Do you think Old Joe messed up the economy, hates guns and left the border wide open. Does Trump annoy you? Joe Manchin is the new Joe, loves guns, common sense economics, Joe likes to give reach around across the isle and believes in God and Momma, vote JM for President.”

Why not? Manchin is folksy he comes across as reasonable and seem like a regular Joe. In the wings behind Biden is Cackling Kamala and the greasy, slimy Gavin Annoysome. Manchin is a good alternative if Biden drops out.

75% chance Joe Manchin runs for President in 2024 on the No-Labels line. He will have a Republican running mate, Larry Hogan or Jon Huntsman.
