West Virginia Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin said Thursday that he is not seeking reelection in 2024.

“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. Thank you,” Manchin said in a statement posted to X, formerly Twitter.

He called the decision to not run “one of the toughest decisions of my life.”
