West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin defended his flirtation with a third-party presidential campaign saying he had no plans to play “spoiler” in the 2024 election. Manchin spoke at a No Labels forum in New Hampshire with former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, a Republican, who told reporters after that any talk of a Manchin-Huntsman ticket was premature and a distraction. Cornel West is running for President as a Green Party candidate. He tells Anderson Cooper if he’s concerned about a third-party candidate siphoning votes away and potentially leading to another four years of former President Trump in the White House. Plus, CNN’s Alex Marquardt joins AC360 from Odesa, Ukraine where Russia is retaliating for the naval drone attack on its bridge to Crimea 24 hours earlier.
