West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice is expected to announce a campaign for U.S. Senate.
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice is expected to announce a campaign for U.S. Senate Thursday, setting the stage for a potential blockbuster 2024 race against Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin. The two are the Mountain State's highest-profile and storied political figures.
FILE - West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice delivers his annual State of the State address in the House Chambers at the state Capitol in Charleston, W.Va., Jan. 11, 2023. Justice declined to say more about the plans for his Thursday press conference when he spoke with CBS News outside a school in Craigsville, West Virginia, Tuesday. But Justice acknowledged he is already making calls and plans ahead of the likely announcement of his candidacy.
Justice told CBS News he has already reached out to former President Donald Trump to discuss a possible Senate endorsement and he said he expects a"potful" of endorsements from Republican state legislators in a race for the Senate. Justice, who is term-limited and has 20 months remaining in his second term as governor, would face a GOP primary in next spring against Rep. Alex Mooney, Republican of West Virginia. Mooney has touted a series of endorsements from West Virginia state Republicans for his run. On Monday, in a statewide radio interview with host Hoppy Kercheval, Mooney argued he had a more conservative record than Justice.
