West Virginia Governor Jim Justice to Announce Senate Bid Against Manchin
TL;DR Summary
West Virginia Governor Jim Justice is expected to announce his bid for Senate on Thursday, setting up a potential race against Democratic Senator Joe Manchin in 2024. Manchin has not yet confirmed whether he will run for re-election in a state that Republicans view as one of their best pickup opportunities. Justice, a coal mining billionaire, would first have to win a primary over Rep. Alex Mooney, for whom the conservative Club for Growth has already pledged to spend at least $10 million. Democrats hold 51 Senate seats, but the map is favorable to Republicans in 2024.
