WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US Senator Joe Manchin said on Friday that he is ending his ties with the Democratic Party and registering as an independent.
"My commitment to do everything I can to bring our country together has led me to register as an independent with no party affiliation," Manchin said in a statement via the social media platform X.
In November, Manchin said that he will not pursue reelection to the US Senate in 2024, where he has represented the state of West Virginia as a Democrat.
