West Virginia Governor Jim Justice is set to announce his Senate campaign, potentially challenging incumbent Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, whose seat is at the top of Senate Republicans' target list. If Justice and Manchin square-off next year, the outcome could determine the balance of power in the Senate, which is currently held by Democrats, 51-49. Justice will join Rep. Alex Mooney in the GOP primary. Manchin has not yet said if he'll run for reelection, retire or even run for president.
