Donald Trump wins for third consecutive time in West Virginia
Trump has maintained strong support in West Virginia, winning every county in both the 2016 and 2020 elections. The state has not backed a Democratic presidential candidate since Bill Clinton’s victory in 1996. Currently, the Republican Party controls all statewide partisan positions in West Virginia. At 7:30 pm EST, The Associated Press declared Trump’s victory in the state.
In addition to Trump’s win, Republicans achieved another significant victory in West Virginia. Jim Justice secured the Senate seat previously held by Joe Manchin, creating a 50-50 tie in the chamber. This win further solidified Republican dominance in the state.
In the governor’s race, Republican Patrick Morrisey, with Donald Trump’s endorsement, won the election. Morrisey, who has been West Virginia’s attorney general since 2013, focused on conservative issues such as abortion and transgender rights in sports during his campaign. His victory marks only the third time a Republican has been elected to a first gubernatorial term in the state since 1928. Morrisey’s previous role in leading lawsuits against opioid manufacturers and his firm stance on abortion rights played a key role in securing his win. His opponent, Democrat Steve Williams, struggled to gain significant support outside of Huntington.
