Sen. Joe Manchin says his wife Gayle is in “stable condition” Tuesday following her involvement in a car accident in Alabama. 

“On Monday, my wife Gayle and her colleague Guy Land were involved in a car accident on the way from the airport to the hotel in Birmingham, Alabama, for an Appalachian Regional Commission event that was planned for today,” the West Virginia Democrat said in a statement. 

“Both were admitted to UAB Hospital and are receiving excellent care,” he continued. “She remains in stable condition but will stay there for a couple of days for precautionary measures.” 

Manchin added, “We want to thank the first responders who answered the call and were on-site to provide assistance and support. 

Gayle Manchin is the federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), which describes itself as an “economic development partnership entity of the federal government and 13 state governments focusing on 423 counties across the Appalachian Region.”

Land, the organization says, is an ARC congressional liaison.

“While they were driving from the airport to their hotel, another vehicle struck their car,” ARC said in a statement.

Sen. Manchin, meanwhile, has been teasing a potential third-party presidential bid after Super Tuesday on March 5.

“Super Tuesday pretty much confirms whatever is going to happen, what we believe will happen, and we’ll see where we go from there,” Manchin told reporters last week.

“But people are looking for options, and we’re going to be looking at that, too,” he added. Whether it’s me or whoever it may be, I think there’s going to be options available if it goes down the way it’s going down.”

Manchin announced he would not seek re-election for his Senate seat last year, creating speculation about whether he’d make a bid in the 2024 presidential race. Manchin  started a nationwide campaign called “Americans Together,” aiming to unite the country’s moderate voters away from the “extremes” of the left and right.
