Reports are swirling that Republican Governor Jim Justice is gearing up for a 2024 Senate campaign against incumbent Democrat Joe Manchin. An invitation to a special announcement event at Justice&#8217;s Greenbrier Resort has tongues wagging, with sources suggesting that the governor will use the occasion to announce his Senate bid. Justice, a wealthy coal tycoon, was elected governor as a Democrat in 2016 before switching to the Republican Party the following year. With his second term as governor coming to an end, Justice is eyeing a new challenge in Washington. <\/p>\n<p>According to a recent Morning Consult poll, Justice is more popular than Manchin with voters across the political spectrum. GOP senators have reportedly been working hard to recruit Justice for a Senate campaign against Manchin, as they seek to take control of the upper chamber from the Democrats. <\/p>\n<p>Manchin, a moderate Democrat and former West Virginia governor, won re-election in 2018, two years after Donald Trump won the state&#8217;s presidential election by a whopping 42 points. Manchin and Arizona&#8217;s now-independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema are often seen as roadblocks to leftist proposals in Congress. <\/p>\n<p>The Senate race is already heating up, with Republican Rep. Alex Mooney announcing his campaign for Manchin&#8217;s seat last November. Senator Ted Cruz has thrown his support behind Mooney, calling him a &#8220;strong conservative&#8221; who will &#8220;represent the values&#8221; of West Virginia in the Senate. The Club for Growth PAC has also endorsed Mooney&#8217;s campaign. <\/p>\n<p>Manchin has yet to announce whether he will seek re-election in the upper chamber, but with Justice and Mooney already in the race, it&#8217;s shaping up to be an exciting battle for control of West Virginia&#8217;s Senate seat. Stay tuned for more updates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Virginia Republican Governor Jim Justice is set to announce a 2024 campaign for the seat held by Sen.
