Manchin says he will not be running for the Democratic nomination

Independent Sen. Joe Manchin, who sources had told ABC News was considering re-registering as a Democrat to run for the presidential nomination, said on Monday he is not going to be campaigning to be atop the ticket in November.

"Let me make it very clear to you, Tony: I am not going to be a candidate for president, I am a candidate for basically speaking for the middle of this country," Manchin said on "CBS This Morning."

"I am not running for office, I could not believe that there was not going to be a primary process or a mini process. I don't need that as far as in my life, the attention that people think 'oh, when you speak up you're looking for attention.' Why is everybody afraid to speak up?" Manchin said.

Instead, Manchin said he was advocating for a "process" for selecting a "new generation" of leadership.

"I think a lot of people would like to see a mini primary -- that's the process," he said.
