West Virginia Governor Jim Justice Enters Senate Race Against Democrat Joe Manchin.

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice has filed paperwork to run for the state's Senate seat, currently held by Democrat Joe Manchin, who has not yet announced whether he will seek reelection. Justice, a Republican, is expected to officially launch his campaign later on Thursday. He will face Rep. Alex Mooney and Chris Rose in the GOP primary. Justice's move puts Democrats' slim majority in the Senate at risk. Polling suggests Justice is best positioned to win against Manchin.
