Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., announced Thursday he would not seek re-election to the Senate.
"To the West Virginians who have put their trust in me and fought side by side to make our state better – it has been an honor of my life to serve you," he wrote in a post on X, including a video explaining his decision.
"After months of deliberation and long conversation with my family, I believe in my heart of hearts that I've accomplished what I set out to do for West Virginia. I've made one of the toughest decisions of my life and decided that I will not be running for re-election to the United States Senate," he said.

"When America is at her best, we get things done by putting country before party, working across the aisle, and finding common ground. Many times this approach has landed me in hot water, but the fight to unite has been well worth it," he said.
