Manchin Won’t Compete With Harris For Nomination

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Joe Manchin says he won’t compete with Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination now that President Joe Biden has left the race. The West Virginia senator left the Democratic Party this year but had considered re-registering to vie for the nomination against Harris. But Manchin told CBS News on Monday he would not be a candidate. Additional endorsements Monday have left a dwindling list of potential rivals to Harris, who’s still the only candidate. Harris is moving swiftly to secure Democratic delegates behind her White House campaign since Biden stepped aside Sunday amid concerns from within their own party he’d be unable to defeat Republican Donald Trump.
