Sen. Joe Manchin Confronted by Climate Activists, Comments on 2024 Presidential Bid

Manchin, who won't seek another Senate term, says the country is investing in carbon-free technologies without destroying the fossil fuel industry.

Sen. Joe Manchin was confronted by members of the far-left climate protest organization Climate Defiance at a New Hampshire diner, where they chanted slogans about ending fossil fuel reliance.
Manchin, who has previously taken heat from the left over his energy stances, responded by saying that the country was investing in new, carbon-free technologies while also not destroying the fossil fuel industry.
The senator has already declared he won't seek another term in the U.S. Senate representing West Virginia, and when asked about a potential run for president on the bipartisan 'No Labels' ticket, he said 'let's see what happens.'
Manchin believes President Biden has been pushed too far to the left and should be coming back to the center or center left, where most decisions are made.
Climate Defiance, which was founded in Washington, D.C., last year, is known for forcefully disrupting events to confront politicians over climate policy.
