WV-SEN 2024: Manchin out, Justice for All

[Flyersfan232]

Okay, apparently, Manchin and Don have beef, so I can see Manchin running if Blackenship is nominated, and even have a decent chance to win if he pulls moderate Republicans + Democrats that don't want a guy who went to jail for a year.

Overall, I think the seat went back down to "only" likely R.

if justice is the nominee He have a hard time with moderate republican considering how popular justice is

I think Shrewsbury would be an interesting perspective for WV Dems. He would be the first "working class"-centric guy in a deep red state, especially with the mesh of positions he has. Left-wing economic ideology (not just populism), pro-gun rights, sympathetic to the hardness of the transition away from coal and needing to find jobs, not a big supporter of funding Ukraine. Could he be an Ojeda-like guy (to a lesser extent), make a dent, but actually moving the WV Dems away from the national Dems in a left-wing fashion?

Either he has a legit chance of winning Tuesday, or he will crash as a social media darling of the WV left. We will find out Tuesday

outside of being pro gun he shares the same views as most progressives

Did Justice underperform in the primary? I feel like 62% isn't really that impressing.

That said, the GE is Safe R.

nah that was in line with expectations
