West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice will be trading in his current role for one in Washington D.C.
According to the Associated Press, Jim Justice won a U.S. Senate race from West Virginia Tuesday, flipping a seat to the Republican Party after Joe Manchin decided not to seek reelection.
A former billionaire, Justice and his family own dozens of businesses, including the posh Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. Justice spent considerable time as governor addressing court challenges that sought late payments and fines for his personal businesses. While Elliott embarked on a tour of all 55 counties this summer, Justice conducted few campaign stops, instead making economic development announcements in his capacity as governor, bringing along his pet English bulldog, Babydog. Justice also mixed in political talk during his weekly online media briefings, often criticizing President Joe Biden’s policies.
In addition, Justice has been accused of being late in paying millions in other business loans and court fines for unsafe working conditions at his coal mines.
