West Virginia Governor Jim Justice won the Republican primary for Senate on Tuesday night, beating out House Freedom Caucus member Rep. Alex Mooney.
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice sailed to victory in the state’s Senate Republican primary on Tuesday evening, boosting the GOP’s already-high hopes of flipping the critical seat. Justice had been the favorite to win ever since he entered the race last year. He beat out a crowded primary field that included House Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W. Va., Justice’s leading opponent, who is a member of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus.
Justice had said in response to Manchin’s announcement, 'Senator Joe Manchin and I have not always agreed on policy and politics, but we’re both lifelong West Virginians who love this state beyond belief, and I respect and thank him for his many years of public service.' Mooney had been endorsed by the conservative group Club For Growth.
